A Cabin in the Woods


Nikon D2x Sigma 24-60mm Ridata Pro 150x media

Taken in the west side of the Rocky Mountains. Notice the trees in the background. They have been killed by the Pine Beetle infestation here in the Rocky Mountains. If you go to the west side the Rocky, don't expect to see any green trees. They have been pretty much all killed or in the process of being killed by the pine beetle. It is just a lightening strike away from a massive forest fire that will basically wipe out the western side of the Rockies as far as trees goes. Just imagine from the Colorado-Wyoming State line all the way to past Vail south with no trees. Basically what we have now, just standing dead trees.

That chimney is beautiful. Hate that about the beetles. I guess it is just Mother Nature working her process though.
