Standing Forest Fire Remnants In Yellowstone National Park. Royalty-Free Stock Photo

Burnt tree stems killed by a forest fire in the recent years stand as a reminder to be careful with fire in our National Parks. Scorching high up on the stems indicate a very hot crown fire . Desolation into the distance showing no signs of widespread regeneration of the forest. Clear Blue Skies in early September contrast the stark nakedness of the dead stems pointing up to those blue skies. Some regeneration of forest species can be seen, but is not widespread as of yet, indicating the fire was very recent.
