Sand Dunes

These sand dunes under restoration, free of trees except for grasses and lupin plants, reminds me of a scene out west then something five miles from Downtown Albany.

Melted

A fairly common sign you see in the Pine Bush is where the plastic trail markers have melted from past controlled burns. Generally the ground fires aren't hot enough to burn the markers on the posts, but are hot enough to melt the trail markers.
