Voice of the Ash Forest. Silver Winner, Best Portrait. โ€œAfter the devastating wildfires of summer 2024, I visited Jasper to witness the desolation. In the scorched landscape, where ash covered everything, only a few animals had returned. Among them, common ravens were some of the first to reclaim the land. This one, perched on a charred tree, was calling out, as if mourning the loss of its kingdom.โ€ Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.

One year ago...still makes me want to cry.

Was up for a visit in early May and while things were looking better in town. there are huge parts of the forest that are just gone...will take decades to return to something like it was.
