Fire Damage

Fire Damage
I had an hour to spare yesterday morning while my wife was out, so I took a quick drive to Hayling Island where I came across a piece of land about 100m from the beach which had obviously been on fire recently. Luckily it was only a small patch and had not spread very far. It left behind some burnt branches which really stood out against the undamaged foliage, which I thought would make a good photo.

Best viewed large, on black. thanks for looking.

It is a great abstract image and, despite being fire damaged, is rather attractive and interesting.

Du hast deine Entdeckung schön präsentiert, Keith!
Verbrannte Sträucher und Bäume habe ich in Südeuropa schon öfter gesehen. Häufig schlagen die Pflanzen im nächsten Jahr wieder aus.

A shame about the fire, but it makes a great picture Keith! I guess it happened during the hot summer!

I'm pleased you like this one Rosa.............thanks very much. You could be right - it's very close to where the skate-park is where the teenagers hang out at night (not that I'm pointing any finger of course)!

I can only echo Rosa- the burnt branches make for a briliant abstract!

Thank you Gudrun. I went back this afternoon to see if the burned area was regenerating, but sadly not. Maybe next spring!
