Nice pictures as usual, Roger. Is that your new Canon digital?

I still like Dennis's pic the best!
Roger, I think you should take some lessons from Dennis so you can improve your picture taking ability.

Well, tall old ships are made of wood, gyro......ya creep....

Here's one, the Wawona, built in 1897. It has been sitting in Lake Union for 15 yrs, slowly being restored. They need over $1 mm total, only $90 k has been spent so far. It used to be able to haul full length logs. It had a hatch in the back to winch them right in.

I'll go back and get some better pics, including one of the old rusted hand windlass that they used to winch the logs aboard.

Hey Roger the tree dodger, speaking of ships here is an original painting by Art Martin. Sorry about the glare on the left.

[rbtree]

bet I know what it is reflecting off....

a Canadian company, CRTCF on Nasdaq, could help......

Nice painting... I'm enjoying all of Art's pics and prose immensely. Wow, and he is an artist too!! As good with the brush as with a file for sure...

I gave Dennis my copy of "This was Logging", and must get another. I have a great book from 1975 on PNW logging I will show you if i see you in October.

 

[Gypo Logger]

Oh I get it now Freak Show, you are drawing reference to my bald head again. Well I got news for you, I was told that if I spread preperation H all over my bald head then it would grow back, but if thats the case wouldnt my arse be sprouting a pony tail?
Anyway, I will hit you with so many books you'll think your in a Library.

Roger,
Teach these guys about depth of field, will ya?

 

[Gypo Logger]

Oh I see, now your beating up my pictures! Well Doug, you high tech redneck, all I can say is that chainoil, sweat, sawdust and rain on my Carl Ziess lens doesnt do much for my depth of field, but I hear ya bro.

Seth,
It wouldn't surprise me. We feed 'em sugar water for direct conversion to glucose I suppose. They certainly would have to have one of the highest metabolisms of any living creature because they spend so much time in the air. More BTU/lb than a big Ken Dunn race saw!
