High Topping

[RC0]

Been up at Cathedral Grove, Vancouver Island for a couple of days, helping out fellow Brit Martin Evans of VI Tree. Mainly hazard tree work....topping, falling blasting etc.

 

Some pics from a dead fir. Had to resize to low res for the forum, so not so clear. Tree was probably 220ft. Left it as a big wildlife pole. Its been a cold snap up there, but no wind thankfully.
