Environmental Logging, aka horse power

[Bambi]

So some friends were having trees cut for lumber on their property. They hired a family down the road who have a work horse named Joe. This is a very nice way to log as you don't have to clear everything to get the few valuable trees. My friend let me know when they were coming, we grabbed our cameras and started shooting. The light was tricky because of bright sun and shade from the trees (time to buy a lens hood). Also, you need to find the right spot but not be in the way because when 1300 pounds of horseflesh comes dragging a log he's really moving. I took 263 pictures. Some of which I will post here for those that are interested.
So there was Jordan (the young man with the horse, his dad who was teaching him what to do, my friends Malcolm and Margot, their dog Sienna, myself and Irish. (I trailered him there to do some riding in the woods).
