End of the afternoon jaunt: Huge fallen tree laying against a house in Southside
The very last stop on the day's travels was at a house on the Southside of Huntington,WV near the intersection of West 3rd Street?, I believe. The wind storm had caused an enormous tree that (I'm sure it had been there over a hundred years) to fall over and collide with the house beside it. The immense scale of the tree compared to the loggers attempting to cut it down was incredible and very striking to say the least. I talked to one of the loggers (the one in the closeup all by himself) that was working on cutting down the tree and he stated that they all were from Mason Co., which happens to be where I am originally from. He said that he was a construction worker through the week and that this was his gig on the weekends.
