The New Growth

This is shot in Banff National on Bow River Parkway 20 miles east of Lake Louise.

What I found of interest was the new growth in middle left of frame under the burned out trees. The slopes were alive with growth after a devastating fire. God's design in our beautiful world amazes me at every turn in the road.

Interesting image Rick. Good to see regrowth. It appears to me on my monitor that the new growth trees are not sharpe. Thanks for sharing.

You did a wonderful job of capturing that location Rick - from the tangled ground mass in the foreground, the re-growth amongst the standing dead, and the expanse of it all byshowing the mountain in the background. Congrats on the WP! :toast:
