p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Sedona, West Fork, post-wildfire


Wish I went there last week, but someone told me that the colors are not at their prime yet, which was not true - this week, they are already past prime.

There is not as much damage to the trail as could be expected given the size of a wildfire. There are some burnt trees, and the biggest problem is actually in the creek bed itself - famous red dirt is now covered with a thick black layer of sooth. This is especially noticeable closer to the trail head, further down the trail it is cleaner, and more colorful, too. Trail looks well taken care of, even if there is a "deadly danger" note posted near the bridge.

The water level is low, but at least it is clean. A month ago, water in a creek was very muddy and gray, so looks like the nature will gradually heal itself.

Below are few pictures from the hike. I framed mine so no black sooth deposit is visible, but you can see some on one of Lisa's pictures.

C&C welcome,

Sasha.

1.Lots of fallen trees, most likely post-fire

2. Water has greenish hue instead of red, that's because of black stuff on a bottom

4. Someone had a blast!

Sasha,

That 3rd one is awesome. It has that feel of the classic dogwood flowers shots in Yosemite. Love the fall colors.

Jason,

Thanks! Third was taken a bit off-trail, but I did have "glowing branch against rock" idea in mind.

Sasha.

Really love #1 and #3 - they are beautiful! Looks like we did cross paths yesterday!

I totally think I recognize you! Did you stop and talk to us? I was there with my husband and 16 month old little boy....you look very familiar in your avatar!

Yes, we met yesterday - I commented on your post about it. I had a dog with me, she was interested in your cooler

Yes, you were!
We also discussed another photographer who was taking picture across the creek on the other side! It would be funny if he is on this board as well

AMaji,
Thank you! It is indeed very cool to meet someone from the forum in person, especially running into each other in such a way

Sasha.

Thank you, Dan. I like this picture, too. It is actually two shallow aperture shots combined for extended DOF, one for foreground, and one for the background.

Sasha.
