A powerful story about forest resiliency and renewal

In 2015 a wildfire burned 5000 hectares in size of the Maligne Valley area of the Jasper National Park, Canada. One year later, I took this photo at the Medicine Lake. On the right side you can see the burnt forest, where the fire came to stop. The contrast between the charred black versus the vibrant green versus the singed red tells a powerful story about forest resiliency and renewal.
