Nice and very fitting sunset moment. Maybe the fire caused pine cones to burst thus scattering the seeds of their next generation and sunlight can now reach the forest floor and new growth flourish.... Still sad, I agree. A bit of a nit, but I'd have to take a look at a slightly lightened foreground. It needs a somber feel, no question. Looking forward to your GESO.
