In countless twinkles of prismatic reflection, the bright sunlight of a June noontime sparkles off the crystalline carbon surface of a charred log. Wildfires can bring death, destruction and misery, but also rejuvenation and renewal. Sometimes one even may find a nugget of unexpected beauty in their aftermath, as in this few inches of Devils Tower National Monument. A lesson: as spectacular as an upward vista can be, it pays to look down sometimes.
