Burned
|
On one of our last mornings in Lima, we walked toward the sea cliffs. Just around a corner
we came upon this burned out store. A security screen had been pulled down to protect
the damaged interior from vandals, but fortunately the gaps in the screen were large enough
to allow this picture to be taken.
|
Just past the delicate blowing grass and smashed remains of an old
concrete building lay a field which had recently been the site of
a grass fire. Although there were no trees nearby, this branch
happened to be laying on the ground when the grass burned around it.
|
Curved vehicle tracks had at one time killed or stunted the grass.
As a consequence, when that grass burned through this area, these
curved tracks had been left behind.
|
The curved branches of a low bush had burned in a recent grass fire.
Like arms reaching to embrace the charred stubble below, or like the
wings of a bird forever frozen while gathering its young. Below it was
scorched earth forming a wasteland.
