Here is one rig that got the job done.

 

Roger F. Sohner started his life working with trees at the young age of eighteen. He attended the Davey Tree Insitute in Kent, Ohio in 1919. He applied his knowledge at the Hunnington Libary in Hunnington Beach, Calif.

He started his Tree Care Service in 1931 in San Anselmo, Calif.

Your welcome by all means. What else do you do with shots like these? Most of the time pictures like these just sit in a album on the shelf. When your bored with them I'll put the album back on the shelf for another generation...

Mt Tamalpias in Marin County , California was always in the background. Made for a pleasant place to grow up and become a tree care professional.
