Last year, the Caldor wildfire burned through a wide swath of California’s Eldorado National Forest. One year later, the artist Tucker Nichols returned to the site, gathered pieces of burned willow to use as charcoal for drawing, and captured what he saw.
Last year, the Caldor wildfire burned through a wide swath of California’s Eldorado National Forest, an area in the central Sierra Nevada that I hike every summer. I returned in August, exactly one year after the fire started, and found a Pompeiian landscape: charred stumps, sooty ponds, thick drifts of ash.
A firefighter told me that clifftops a thousand feet high had glowed red from the light of the flames. In a meadow, I gathered pieces of burned willow to use as charcoal for drawing. A clear creek cut through fresh growth. From behind the branches of a thicket, a deer stared at me, unmoving. Birds sang from blackened trees; the wind scattered seeds. The sky was as blue as ever.This Week’s Issuestory again.
