“Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself; I am large -- I contain multitudes.”
Walt Whitman
Photo: Fires tend to burn in a patchwork of patterns, totally blackening some areas, browning others, and leaving other spots green. Yesterday (July2), I took a tour of some of the areas that burned in the High Park Fire. The sheriff's department won't yet let us use the trails, or even stop by the roadside. (The roads just opened after being closed since June 9th). On my tour, I saw many areas totally blackened by the fire. However, there were also many areas that looked like the patchwork of color revealed in this photo. Fire has a tendency to skip around, creating a diversity of different effects!
