that pic was taken by a professional photograher. basically around about that time the company i was working for was having a brochure made up. there was a photographer coming out random days over the course of a few weeks, basically whenever he was in the area, taking photos. this particular job we had a platform on as the tree was very dead and parts were over a road so it made sense. as we were overmanned in the ground i got into the tree and starting knocking out some of the easier half of the tree whilst the photographer was in the bucket above me with the other cutter.
