Scarred but Alive
by Dale Hardin

After a devastating fire the damage to this lone surviving tree is quite evident. However, it defies the odds and lives on.

Great find and capture, Dale. Helen

It would fit perfectly in an anti-global warming campaign calendar! Great capture!

Brilliant take on the theme. Perfect for "I Will Survive" kind of calendar or any calendar for that matter...

Nice shot Dale, I like the way the light is shining on the only remaining green area of the tree :-) It's an interesting image with very good composition! This would probably make a good page for a state or national forest service calendar.

You know, Dale, there are a million calendars out there and I am sure this image would fit one of them ;-)) Thanks for showing us the determination to survive.

I was reluctant to enter this image because it doesn't match the theme but the eligible caragory looked so forlorn and empty and it was the only thing I'd shot lately. Will keep looking. Thanks for the comment Sky. Dale

Dale, a stunning photo. I am amazed over this tree's determination - nature at work. A rare capture and a terrific entry!
