Great photograph and message. Signs of expiring Life laying on the asphalt it's warning us to open eyes and mind in our daily contact with Nature. Wonderful way to call our atention, great image.
Interesting, Burning leaf, forest, and the charcoal fire remains, a macro of the entire area(many kilometers), the charred forest, filling the frame. The photograph of the fire that existed, is captured in the surviving leaf, a memory of the firestorm before. Maybe new life will begin from underneath the charcoal forest floor. Great Photograph Nigel
