Devastation and Cleansing - a photo on Flickriver

            Fire, when it sweeps through a forest understory can be very cleansing to the ecosystem, but when it crashes through, windswept into the forest canopy, called CROWNING, it can destroy a site for generations to come.

This is Highway 89, north of Quincy, in Plumas County, site of the recent Dixie Fire.  It has to date, consumed over 900,000 acres of prime, oftentimes virgin forest, both privately owned and Public.
