Men at Work


Early one morning I saw this guy and his ground team preparing to do some tree trimming.  He works for the power company and when the trees get too crowded around the power lines, it's time to trim them back a little.  He spotted me with my camera right away so he gave me a big smile and a wave.





You can see from this shot that he was pretty far up there when I zoomed in on him.






























And, here he is in the thick of the tree working away.  I'm quite sure I couldn't do this job.  My fear of heights would kick in and I wouldn't be able to last 10 minutes up there.

    I'm with you; don't like heights, either! Love that last photo; looks like he's disappearing into the vortex!

    I'd never be able to do work like that either. But it's nice to see that the people who do are friendly!
