Wildfire at dawn, taken during the Wolf River wildfire. Spent the cold morning covered in mosquitos and choking on smoke, to witness the beautiful side of one of nature's most destructive and potent forces. The beauty was haunted by the crashing sounds, as rocks on the mountainside shattered and dropped to the lake.

I am both humbled and horrified by what I have witnessed, but also enchanted by the shear power of nature in both destruction and creation born of the ashes.
