[lumberjackson]

I cant see the pics. is it just my computer?

 

[inztrees]

some user name pass word thing just popped up what did you do?

 

[theXman]

yeah, like some VIRUS or something, same thing happened to me...

asking for my user name and password to gianttree or something.

I guess your photos are on some secure site and won't let us view unless we have user name and password.

Nice pic Winch! I've visited that house a couple times. How many trees at the estate have LP in them?

 

[Gord]

Sorry I fixed it. Was logged into my webspace while I posted it didn't realize...

 

[dylanclimbs]

)

That was a pretty slick looking tree. Was the main stem dead? Anyhow, nice shot. The rest are nice too, especially the lightning pic.

Curious - the first pic is a Douglas fir, right?

Were the growth rings really tight? Because it looks like it may be pretty old for its size, considering some of the characteristics.

Amazing pictures, in that first one did you make an undercut first? I can't tell.

 

[theXman]

wow amazing pictures Gord! You must be professional with a camera!

the lightning and scene ones really yours?

Tom, nice too, I never saw you before in the avatar version, untill you showed the bigger one.

Hey Mario here's a link to a thread about those trees. They were very slow grown trees, unfortunately someone with a education decided they were 'hazard trees.'

I think it's hard to the undercut as I faced it to swing away from me, not entirely sure.

Thanks xman, they all are my pics.

We must have about 30-40 trees with LPS in them. We want hundreds more, but it's one of our most costly activities.

Gord, your photo reminds me of a redwood called Kronos. Here is an image of the limb. The limb is 7' diameter, and the largest stem sprouting from the limb, is about 4' in diameter.

 

[sohner]

Have camera will take pictures..

 

[Winterbush]

Hey Mario or gord or anybody really, Don't they call limbs like that "school Marm" and why?

 

[tomthetreeman]

I think because they seem to stare down at you like a School Marm (old fashioned school teacher). I could be wrong, I'm not a logger.

Gord,
awesome pictures!

Another one I stumbled across. From a job back in the summer. Giant Burr Oak had fallen down at a golf course (due in large part to root rot). Rented this machine to move the wood. It would have had a 54" DBH if it was standing.

This is my dad in top of a cottonwood

we had to remove the limbs over the yard because the rest was over the lines and was going to be taken care of by Asplundh
