Sometimes our expectation of nature's beauty doesn't meet the reality. This view, which includes Mt. Washington, used to be full of a lush, vibrant forest of pines, cedar and fir trees until a few summers ago when a lightning strike caused a huge fire that took it all out. It's coming back, but slowly. And it has a new style of vibrancy. High Cascades of central Oregon, US.

I love the pattern in the trees. Nicely done, and great composition.

Lightning strikes are one of nature's paths to a cleansing and rebirth for forests, Ted. From seeing huge areas of burnt sticks in Glacier National Park I discovered that the seeds in pine cones require high heat to kick-start their germination; without a forest fire, new trees cannot start. One of the images of Glacier I plan to (re)submit is of an old forest fire with a thick carpet of bright green mini-pines, averaging about 18" high. So what you've captured here is stage in the process of life in the forest and not an actual disaster. So cheer up,already! :o)
