Thomas: lovely MTB shot so vivid!
Gary: I like the last summitar shot best. You inspire me to pull out my bokeh monsters
Edward: beautiful portrait. Looks like the 85 is well calibrated. Love to see some leafy bokeh from that lens sometime
Werner, more nice shots with excellent comp.
Well, to finish my last hike, I was at the big lake you see in my post last page and walked over the nearby divide near sunset to another world:
L1022293 by unoh7, zm18 f/4
Horizon be damned, right?
L1022308 by unoh7, 50cron f/16
L1022317 by unoh7, 28 cron f/16
L1022363 by unoh7, 90rit f/6.7
L1022359 by unoh7, 90rit f/8
as you can see, at that hour the view both gorgeous and terrible.
Consequences of an extreme fire like this are great. Rain events will wash the now unheld soils into the creeks, affecting stream health for at least a generation.
This kind of Hiroshima-like devastation is not "natural" but a combination of oversurpressing fires for 100 years, allowing extreme fuel loads to build, and a much warmer climate in this area in the last 25 years, which has allowed the bugs to really go crazy, killing as many trees as the fires.
Hence this is not a cycle but a transformation to a hotter, more dry landscape like the hills above LA.
