Mike, where is that tree?

 

[unatool]

Yep - I just want the kid in Hawaii to know that some of us drunks went to rehab and have beautiful wives, children, succesful careers. All that boring stuff that he might not understand.

Taken by a forman at Hydro One (local utility) who we were working for at the time.

Absolutely awesome speciment displaying natural canopy retrenchment. Could do a whole "conservation arboriculture" seminar with that tree alone.

another. These are on the Hudson River, in upstate NY. Part of the dredging project to remove pcb's deposited by General electric in the seventies. Had an 80' manlift, and a 60 ton crane, all mounted on flexi floats. We did the trees so the excavators could get close to shore to remove the sediment.
