Seriously, I can't post this image here. With the size limits, it would be a postage stamp. You'll see why ...

An image from an interesting place I discovered recently ... an area touched by recent wildfires. The pine needles here super neon orange - which I assume is an effect of the fire damage. I call this one "Treebeard".

Wow, that is some serious detail - I can see why posting it here wouldn't work. I like this shot a lot, it has an almost abstract feeling to it.

Wow. Somebody took a fluorescent marker to those trees.

I actually just reposted it - a bit bigger and desaturated it a bit. I haven't seen an orange like this in nature before. It was a stunning scene, especially with the spring green grasses below.

Didn't see the original, but this version impressive.
Glad you posted one that maintains some of the detail.

Very impressive, Jesse. This is the kind of image I'd like to see large and on the wall.

Very interesting color. The detail is great too. I'd love to see this really big!
