Tree Cut | Branch Grind

Tree Cut | Branch Grind

Tree Cut | Branch Grind  As soon as the branches come down, they are ground into chips with this awesome mean machine by the ground crew.  By the time their done, there’s nothing left but the stump sawed off very close to the ground.  This post is the third of seven posts showing a tree being cut down on a street along my walkabout route.

Tree Cut | Branch Cut  After this guy climbs into the tree, he starts to cut off large branches with his chain saw.  He has obviously done this work before.  He starts low, then goes higher, and finally works his way lower.  Notice how his utility belt is attached to a safety line which doubles as a hands free tool.  This post is the second of seven posts showing a tree being cut down on a street along my walkabout route.  For the whole story with all images, see Tree Cut | a 7 Image Story.

Tree Cut | Climbing  With snow on the tree branches falling into his face, this fellow begins climbing the tree using a rope.  He also wore climbing spurs on his boots to help climb the tree.  Notice the chainsaw hanging from his utility belt.  This post is the first of seven posts showing a tree being cut down on a street along my walkabout route.  For the whole story with all images, see Tree Cut | a 7 Image Story.

Petri Color 35 to Europe | White Cliffs of Dover

Petri Color 35 to Europe | White Cliffs of Dover  The White Cliffs of Dover are located on the Kent coastline facing the Strait of Dover at the point where Great Britain is closest to continental Europe.  On a clear day they are visible from the French coast.  The cliff’s face reaches a height of 350 feet and stretches eight miles encompassing the town of Dover.  It owes its white appearance to a composition of chalk streaked by black flint.  For the whole story with all images, see Petri Color 35 to Europe | a 7 Image Story.
