yeah it was cool. it was a summers evening on a golf course by a river, once i got the falcon down i got chatting to the lass from the rspca and she said if no one claimed the falcon within a week i could have it if i wanted. unfortunately for me the owner got in contact. this pic was taken just as i got down. i dont normally sweat that much but it was the middle of summer and id just stuffed myself at a bbq. and i was still in my chainsaw trousers.:eek:

this was a big ass poplar,about 100' in a garden 30x20'.half the garden was a pond aswell giving me a 10x15' drop-zone,almost the entire tree had to be lowered apart from the trunk which i choged down in the pouring rain in 6" rings as that was the max i could move off at a time

Had an infestation of tree huggers in a big copper beech yesterday. They won this round because the landlord who owns the tree is too spineless to actually resolve the issue with the tree huggers. He wouldnt even come out to site and talk to them!

We had photographers from a couple of local papers out, and a mounted policeman who just happened to be passing and got suckered into helping out. I bet he wished he'd never got involved by the end of it!

The tree is doomed whichever way you slice it, so more pics should follow, eventually!

Here's a small gallery of about 20 or so pictures, click on the slideshow option. Some are pre-digital scanned, so look carefully.

 

I stopped taking pictures when I reached 21 took afew more at 27-28 and since reaching 33, have started taking afew again over the last couple of years.

 

Wish I'd made more effort now but i had no interest at the time. Its not always easy or convienient to get good ones either. Plus, some of the biggest jobs and best treework/picture opportunities were missed as jobs were often much bigger than what was discribed. In other words, I was lied to.
