I've been digging through all the photo folders on my computer the last few days, and came across this one from last summer:
I guess it's a little off-topic since I definitely won't be milling that tree, but I thought you guys might enjoy the pic. The pictures don't do justice to the size of the tree though. I took that with my wide-angle lens at 21mm, which makes the foreground look bigger than it is, and I'm only standing about 2/3 the distance between the camera and tree in the first shot, which was maybe 10 feet. I'd say it was about 10' diameter. Beautiful big Western Red Cedar, though not very healthy - it's the biggun on the far left in the second pic (note the size of the tree in relation to the outhouse about 1/3-1/2 the distance away). This tree is right next to an old logging landing on nearby Quesnel Lake in the inland mountain rainforest, and I remember seeing a big Ford Super Duty truck parked under it a few years ago - it looked like a Hot Wheel on shore.
