Fine work as usual. The first close-ups I've seen of these devastating fires.

Is the park open? I've tried to stop by there a couple of times but it's always been closed

As I understand it, it is only partially open. Access is restricted to a few areas only.

Loop road (1A) and some trails are open, but most of the park is under repair.

Some very unique photos. But you usually have distinctive shots. Nice work Alexey.

Our weekend property is only minutes from there. I still haven't seen Bastrop State Park since the fires. Not sure if I really want to. I'm sure being there in person is overwhelming.
I like your close ups very much. Our place survived but the drought killed a lot of our pecan trees. What a year it has been for Texas!
