Another tree bites the dust...

[outofmytree]

This tree was a sad removal. Good form, no serious prior pruning although a little close to the fence. Sadly it was poisoned and had to go. Check out the last 30 seconds to see how little strength was left in the trunk.

Funny OOMT. Your response has inspired me to learn more about that dusty PRINT SCREEN button on my computer.

I have no idea what you are talking about........

OOMT: I've never done it but if one hits (alt PrintScreen) on the computer keyboard a still of the currently active window is saved to the Clipboard. If the active window is a pic of a Google Earth map you have a still image. A series of 10-15 still images at ever-increasing zoom would get the effect you achieved in your video. You just have to get the still from the clipboard to the video editing software. Or maybe using Google Earth Video would work better.

Pardon me Tom I was being obtuse. One of the the redeeming features of Windows Vista is the snipping tool. I went snip, save image, 1 click zoom, snip etc.........

I picked up on the tone of the post. Thanks for the winky smiley in case I was obtuse. That's a cool little trick with Vista. Take care.

Looks like an interesting tree with the power line in an urban setting. Good job boys
