Logging is common throughout my home province of British Columbia, Canada. With the onslaught of the mountain pine beetle killing off much of the forest in the southern interior, logging has gone into overdrive in an effort to salvage the infected lumber before it becomes unmarketable.
This particular photo is of one of the logged areas where a small stand of healthy trees remain to help repopulate the forest once again. This image was taken just off the highway between Merritt and Kelowna and is a place that I pass by several times a week. I was watching for a good opportunity to capture this image and had to wait several months for the winter snow to melt away first. Fortunately a good opportunity came just after the snow had finished melting and there was enough cloud in the sky to make it a bit more interesting. Taken with a Sony A700/ Sony/Zeiss 16-80mm lens
