This is the town of Jasper in the Rocky Mountains in Canada taken back in 2015!

One of my favourites ( OK I have lots of favourites in Canada ), but my heart is breaking for the devastation that has been caused by the wildfires that have ripped through the town, burning much of the town to the ground.

All locals and tourists are safe. Lets hope the threat passes soon
