Description
Forest fires clear the way for new growth, in this case the stand of lupines emerging from ground that was burned by fires in Yosemite the year before. Standing at my full height the scene was mostly devastation with pockets of color. But from the ground it looked different, with forests of lupines surrounded by rock outcrops and variegated soil. It reminded me that a change in perspective (and lens, this is 16mm) can alter our perceptions drastically, from dwelling on the past to the creation that inevitably follows destruction.
