Laying Down on the Job

"S.F.D. in repose on Mt Rainier"

I've been a bit lazy since my first post. So I figured I'd post an image that was apropos.

This is a circa 1910-1920's real photo post card of a telephone lineman resting while on the job.

Although most of my interest in trees is in the forms and atmosphere that trees create, I also have interest in how trees are used beyond their natural beauty. Logging and building are the more frequent imagery one will find in this period. Once in a while you can find real photo postcards of linemen up on poles connecting small towns across America with telegraph, telephone, or electrical lines.
