Whoa, jb, "awesome" hardly comes close.

Readers of Norman MacLean's Young Men and Fire should keep this devastating image in mind when reading that moving book.

What an astounding image.

Thanks for posting it.

That's an amazing picture of nature at its best and worst.

But what's really frightening to me is the website author's belief that the colors of the text and the background make for readable material.

Some of you might remember my old tripod photo site.
One of the pages had a thumbnail of that picture.
Thought tripod tossed my account a loooong time ago. Was still there.!.
Took forever for this kids gray matter to remember the pass and then just as long to navigate through tripods gibberish just to pull that pic off that one page.
Brought back all the /grumbles\ as too why I left tripod.

We got a copy of this picture a few years ago, but lost it in a large computer crash- seeing it again reminds me how um.. touching I guess it is

kind of sorrow for the deer losing their homes, and probably their lives, and also makes you wonder if the photographer was being brave, or just dumb

Peace

Great shot, and for those who have never been to the Bitterroot Wilderness, it burns in part every year. Burning now as a matter of fact. The reports say the Fire is in Glacier National Park, which to me, is just an extension of the Bitterroot, the largest wilderness area in the lower 48. The deer are able to move, and the critters are use to the living conditions. As a result of the fire there will be more food for the deer next year, believe me, I’ve worked around those woods in fire season, and planted trees on the ledges.
