Pine Tree Down

From my ringside seat, I planned to snap close-up photos as the guys from Olympic Tree carefully delimbed, and finally dropped this thirty-five foot tall pine tree. I turned my back for a moment, sensed movement behind me, and then realized how old school my logging paradigm is.

Once they’d wrestled the tree to the asphalt, they cut-off and hoisted entire limbs into the chipper, and in twenty minutes there was nothing left but bare pavement. Contrast this to the worker bees who descend on Mark Queijo’s property every year. Well intentioned, and a larger work force, but soooo slow.
