Late last night, I spent a couple of hours exploring the old folders, In one of those little yellow digital bags, I found a series of shots taken a couple of days after the wildfire in the coastal area called Marlera. In another folder, I found plenty of smoke and some flames photographed on the outskirts of Medulin - my hometown. That was a planned little fire, everything was under control there.

And that's it. That's all today's post is about. Have a good viewing.
Here you can take a look at the recently burned scenery of Marlera.
The pale snail shells look great on the dark background. This empty shell was once filled with the Theba pisana, a small snail from the Helicidae family.

Helix pomatia is a much bigger snail from the same family. Here you can see the burned shell of one of those snails. The Helix pomatia shell, shown in the following photograph ...
... has been exposed to flames and extreme temperatures for longer. The destruction has revealed some interesting, otherwise invisible features of the shell's structure.

Here you can see the carbonized remains of various small shrubs.
This interestingly twisted one was especially photogenic.

Today, while preparing this post, I felt the urge to have a bit of creative fun in Photoshop. Here you can see the intricate growth of wild carrot, in the original photograph and the edited version inverted in Photoshop.
This feathery, parachute-like seed was produced by a thistle. After a bit of floating above the burned coastal scenery, it got caught by the stems of dry grass.
Here you can see the same kind of seed but through one of the filters provided by Photoshop.
Here you can take a better, more up-close look at one of those seeds. In the following photograph ...

... you can see me meditating on the strange dark ground covered with ashes.

If you enlarge this photograph by clicking on it, you'll be able to take a better look at the small passerine bird in the central-right part of the scene.

Here you can take another look at the scenery and its mix of herbaceous plants - in normal view and the psychedelic Photoshop inversion.
This basket-like thing is a wild carrot flower head.

The plant, enveloped by flames, bowed to the ground and stayed in that pose, with some of its flower heads turned upside down.
Here you can see a bit of grass.
(Enlargeable)
The dark, burned grass easily gets broken into small fragments and gray powder.

Here you can see the texture made of stones and ashes.
This is the same thing but slightly changed in Photoshop.

Here you can see two colorful versions of the scenery along with the realistic original in the center of the tryptich.
These two burned wild carrot plants look like they are talking to each other. Well, at least to me they give that feel.

Here you can see another plant of the same kind portrayed in two different ways.
You can see more grass in this shot. A nice little pile of black burned grass. In the following photograph ...
... you can take a wider look at the scenery.
In this black & white shot, you can admire a small fragment of the burned leaf laying on the dark surface made of carbonized grass.
Here you can see a bunch of burned thistles.
This smoke was caught in a photograph on the outskirts of my hometown.

Some houses in the neiberhood called Poshesi are visible in the background of this last shot of today's post.

At first I thought it was a fire with no apparent cause, but then when I read your post I knew it was all under control, too bad for the poor snails that because of their slow mobility were toast. However, all this transformed environment gave a nice touch to your publication, all the images are excellent. You also did a great job with the photoshop and the meditating photo goes well with the title "OLD FIRE & FORGOTTEN ASHES".
A pleasure to read you friend @borjan, there are always interesting and cool things to see in your blog, greetings.
Wow!... What a dramatic and eloquent collection of photos... Even you in your "yoga pose" seem to be in the middle of something apocalyptic!.... :))

They are really beautiful and thought-provoking. I love the way you captured the aftermath of the wildfire, and the way you used Photoshop to create some really interesting effects.
The photos of the burned snail shells are particularly striking. It's amazing to see how the flames have transformed these once-living creatures into something so beautiful and otherworldly.
The photos of the burned plants are also very powerful. They show the destructive power of fire, but they also show the resilience of nature. Even in the midst of all this destruction, new life is beginning to grow.
The photos of the smoke are also very atmospheric. They capture the sense of unease and uncertainty that often follows a wildfire.
All those photography are really amazing. Small shrubs are looking beautiful. And also meditation view are looks so interesting.
Photoshop enhances the pictures more to make it look more beautiful
