Paradise Redwood

This redwood tree, growing in Paradise, California, survived the Camp Fire, which was named after its place of origin, Camp Creek Road. In 2018 it was the most expensive natural disaster in the world in terms of insured losses, and the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California's history.  Redwood trees are frequently able to survive fires. I made this picture because people have deliberately chosen to save this particular tree, even as the grounds around it were being cleared. Four years later, it stands as a beacon of hope.

This redwood tree is growing in Paradise California. It survived The Camp Fire, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California's history and the most expensive natural disaster in the world in 2018 in terms of insured losses. It is named after Camp Creek Road, its place of origin.
Surviving the fire is a feat of its’ own but redwood trees tend to do this. But I wanted to make this picture because people have deliberately chosen to save it as the grounds around are being cleared some 4 years later. It stands like an icon of hope.
