Interesting stuff - I agree, the most striking images (for me) were not the ones of the destruction, they were of new growth springing up so quickly. Amazing, the resiliency of life. . .

Back in 1995 I took a week's vacation in Yellowstone park - this was about 10 years after the huge fires that devastated parts of it. I still have some of the photos - it was amazing. From about eye level up in many places there was nothing except for blackened "sticks" that were formerly tree trunks - for miles in every direction. From eye level down it was lush green vegetation. Pretty amazing contrast. I imagine parts of Malibu will look similar soon (different due to lack of old-growth forest trees, but you get the idea).

Thanks for sharing.
