Hard to tell from the pic, but what was the reason it couldn't just have been dropped?

The picture is a clip from a video of the removal. The camera is directly under a power line that the tree would hit if dropped. Ill post a link to some videos of the job.

No climber on this job, despite the lift being out of its league the tree was easily dismantled with some precision notches.

Fortunately I am not stupid enough to rig them..... they were dropped with a tagline into the dirt below. Also butt rigging a pine tree is much different than a cottonwood..... and if the grounds man knows how to let them run it could be done safely.

They only appear arched because the contour roam helmet cam has distortion towards the outside of its field of view. Thanks! I'll be sure to tell the photographer you liked it.
