On July 25, 2016 lightning sparked the Berry Fire in Grand Teton NP. High winds eventually drove the fire from its starting point on the west side of Jackson Lake to forests to the east and north, consuming about 23,000 acres.

Fortunately, when I was in the Tetons in early October, the fire had been extinguished by rain and snow. The snow, clinging to the naked branches, provided for beautiful abstracts. The charred tree trunks and limbs were a striking contrast to the freshly fallen snow!
