Burnt forest

How sad to see the devastation the fires caused in Australia George, and who thought there were still more bad times to come! It is still a stunning picture! I hope your wife's treatment goes well. It is good that you have more spare time to spend together. My best wishes to you both.

Thank you very much for your kind comment, Rosa.

Yes it is recovering but what a horrid sight, kind of like what i am doing putting off going back to my shots after the fire. The main part is we can see life being renewed, I just hope that is also true with your wife. In the end it is all about family and being together I know from my own parents In NZ one out of hospital the other in ,it truly seems like it is never just a shower these day. Totally wishing both of you the very best.

Many thanks indeed, Steve. We enjoyed the outing, but it was sobering to see some of the damage.

Good to read you could made that trip with Pauline.
Bad to read about the impact of the fires.

Stay well and safe George.

Thank you very much indeed, Jaap.

How much of this scenery is likely to regenerate, George? I know that here they sometimes deliberately set fire to heath-land in order for heather to regenerate. It's so good to hear that you and Pauline have more time to spend together. Long may that continue.

It's hard to say how much will regenerate, Amelia, it depends on the type of vegetation and how hot the fire was locally (a factor of various things including slope of the ground, prevailing wind etc). In some areas there is regrowth happening, in others still no sign of regeneration - it is quite worrying. This was an exceptional fire season, driven by climate change, extreme drought etc, Many thanks for your kind wishes.

Une capture bien révélatrice et les séquelles sont encore visibles.
Je souhaite un prompt rétablissement pour votre épouse tout en
vous souhaitant un bon weekend.

Looks really scaring, George ! I think the way back to normality will be a long one !

Thank you very much indeed, Malik.

The forest will recover and will often be more beautiful than before...

Impressive and sad but it will grow back soon!
All my best health wishes to Pauline******

Very sad, but the trees will grow up !! It will take time tough !!! All my best wishes to Pauline, hope the treatment is efficient and easy with no side-effects !! I cross my fingers very tight !!
Have a lovely week-end !!!

...looks pretty bad,George, my best for Pauline

It's good to hear you are getting more time together and are able to drive and sightsee. It must be sad though to see this devastation even though it makes a beautiful image. New growth will come but the loss of the old is hard to take.

Great documentary capture of the aftermath of the massive wild fires. Hope Pauline continues to improve and recovers full health again. Stay strong! Stay well!

How devastating to see this...it's impossible to wrap ones head around so much ruin...it just can't compute, can it?

I am glad you two have been able to get out a bit, I hope that Pauline does well with this treatment. Wishing you all the best!

IT I SURPRISING HOW IT WIL REGENERATE.

THERE IS AN AREA LIKE THAT FROM OUR BURN 5 YEARS AGO.. BLACKENED BUT THERE I S REGROWTH NOW.

I wonder what happens, if springtime is coming George....
I hope you both have a good time and please stay in good health :)

impressive
Happy sunday evening.

Excellent panorama George , hope Pauleen and the forests both mend very soon.
A good week to you both.

That's been long time, George.
I join others hoping for better health and more trips for you both.

It's quite frightening to see how long it takes to regenerate! Only small shrubs are green....

I am enjoying this afternoon scrolling through photos that ipernity friends and aquaintces have posted in my absence.

I do hope Paulines treatment cntinues to allow more times to do as you wish
:)
My best,
j

Thanks very much, "jj", unfortunately we haven't managed any further trips yet. Very much appreciate your kind thoughts.
