Trail to Blakiston
The hike to Blakiston Falls is a short, but sweet one. As you can see by the “thin tall trees”, a forest fire ripped through here in the past. 2017 to be exact. There is still a long way to go until the forest is restored. Forest fires are a part of nature, and are really difficult to prevent or contain, if not impossible. Anyways, there is still a certain eerie beauty to the forest as it is. Photos taken inside Waterton Lakes National Park. Thanks for stopping by.

Yes I do love both colour actually. To me, the coloured pictures always represents the present, while the black pictures remind of the past.
Yes I agree with that sentiment. Thanks for looking.
Trees which seems dead like this are cool to see on a trail, yet sad if I had to walk on it 😅
The good news is is that it will grow back, the bad news is that it will take a couple of decades.
Even though they were dead, the trees still looked beautiful and attractive. They were silent witnesses to a place that held many stories. The bushes beneath them were green again, signs of life returning there.
They are beautiful in their own way!
Qué buenas tomas del parque Waterton. Es verdad que los incendios son parte del ciclo natural, pero no deja de ser impactante ver el rastro que dejan. Gracias por compartir este recorrido y los detalles técnicos de tu equipo, siempre es bueno aprender de fotógrafos con tu experiencia.
Great shots of Waterton Park. It is true that fires are part of the natural cycle, but it is still striking to see the trail they leave behind. Thank you for sharing this tour and the technical details of your equipment; it is always good to learn from photographers with your experience.
Thanks @solorzanot, yes that is the cycle of nature.
In my country, if we saw this photo hanging on a expo wall, we'd say "NAGUARÁ" (a local way of saying "wow, that's really very good")… And my father (who wasn't a very good painter but was a good art critic and frequently a juror) would tell you: "Guy, never stop doing what you're doing, please!" 😂
I will listen to your father's advice. Thanks @jlinaresp!
It is sad walking through a forest of burned pine trees, but it is nature's way. You can see little trees starting to grown underneath but they take so long to grow into maturity... You should be careful around some of those trees if it's windy, I've seen some come down and would hate to be under one when it happened!
It does have it's own beauty though doesn't it? I've seen some areas where fires struck twenty years ago and they still show signs of the fire scar. Someday the new trees will fill in, and the old ones will fall.
What a beautiful little stream there, it must have been spectacular before the fires back in 2017!
Never had the opportunity to visit this place prior to 2017. Which I regret now. It was silly of me not to check out this park, when it was not even that far away. Makes me want to hurry up and explore Canada’s remaining parks, and there are a lot. Then when complete, I’ll head into your country to explore. That should take a lifetime.
Always more to explore! The adventure never really ends as long as you still have the desire in your heart!
