Where did all the trees go...

Has any of you ever witnessed from nearby how huge trees, twice as high as the house. are felled in urban areas. I certainly never had seen it, and even though it is a sad, sad sight, it is totally fascinating.
Two huge trees that were in the garden of our neighbour at the back of our house were badly damaged by the storm we had a few weeks ago and they had to be taken out completely. As their house fronts on to a main road and their gardens are incredibly long, there was no way it could be done from their end. This meant that the trees had to be hoisted over our roof and the bits of tree would be deposited and disposed of in our road. Believe me, this was something the whole neighbourhood came to see...
First there was the guy who had to fell the tree, no climbing trees for him, he was hoisted over the top of our roof by a huge crane...
Then he was gingerly lowered into the tree. This is actually a very delicate and skilled procedure, as the guy steering the crane can not see a thing, he is looking at our house, and has to rely on what the man dangling from the crane tells him what to do. Apparently that takes a few painful manoeuvres before they have got that down pat... These two had obviously worked together before.
After he has secured himself, the sawing starts...
And we have bits of flying tree, the crane driver again has to rely on the description of the bit he is getting over the roof in order for him to know how to place it in the road without damaging everyone's front gardens. This was truly one of the most skilled performances I have ever witnessed.
And this is where the tree goes... This machine eats huge trees in about 30 seconds, awesome and frightening at the same time.

Have a wild Monday!
