After the 1988 Fires

This is a view of a regenerating forest landscape, taken near Roaring Mountain in Yellowstone National Park on August 3rd, 2007.  Nearly half of the park burned in 1988, leaving much of the landscape looking like what's seen in the background...small lodgepole pines growing where taller mature forest once stood.  The Park has been left to naturally regenerate after the 1988 fires, and in most burned forest areas, you find thick stands of young trees.

Photo taken with Canon 20D, 17-40L.
