The neighbor across the road decided to get rid of lots of the beautiful trees on his property. Sad to see the trees go, but the logging process was interesting to watch. It was neat to watch the the equipment as it cut a tree down and held it upright--all at the same time; then it would swivel around and dump the tree on the pile.

This part has a giant saw blade on the bottom, so it saws through the tree while holding it upright so it doesn't fall in an unwanted location.
