Another big tree comes down...


 

These pictures aren't the best, because it's pouring rain, and this is happening about a block away, so there's a lot of water between the camera and the subject. But this was something I didn't want to miss, so I took these anyway.

There's another one of these here on Eolake's blog.

  1. What a big,erm, stem (correct word?) when you compare the size of the cutter with the timber. You really seem to live in the middle of the bush, thanks to modern camera technology. I like the "rain inbetween" it adds so much to the "live" impression of your picture.
    Have a good day - solo se vive una vez (you only live twice haha), as they say in GC.

  2. The stem is also called 'trunk', but loggers use other terms. In bulk, logs are sometimes referred to as fibre, and measured in cubic metres.

  3. Ah, yes. Thanks for the information, Ray.
