Remembering the Station Fire

The Station Fire in the San Gabriel Mts. near LA was the worst fire of 2009 in CA, destroying not only forest, but habitations and even the lives of two dedicated firefighters. The shameful element in it all was that it was arson. Such an evil thing.
Saturday, August 18, 2012, my husband and I drove through an area that had been closed for a year after the fire. It was a ghostly viewing of so many black and denuded trees, but also a wonder at how life rises from the ashes to spring anew.

    The first shot is beautiful - even though it tells us of the wrath of fire!

    Driving through was interesting because the skeleton trees made for very artistic impressions against the sky and hillside, but it was such a devastating fire--hard not to remember. The power tower graveyard was kind of spooky.
