Bethel Ridge

Caption

The top and bottom images both show Bethel Ridge in Washington state. The top image, taken in 1936, shows a mosaic forest. The darkest grey tones are mature, moist, mixed-conifer forests. In the bottom image, taken in 2012, the forest has become more uniform and dense following decades without fire.
