Loading Woodchips

Yesterday I mentioned to a few people that we would take a closer look across the Tamar towards the industrial side of Bell Bay. So I put on the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 and started shooting. All my shots today were taken with this impressive lens.

 

Here we see the cargo ship Globulus being loaded with woodchips to be shipped to Japan. Enlarge the shot and you'll see that huge mountain of woodchips is being pushed around by bulldozers! Quite an operation.

 

Now I must add that this woodchip comes from sustainable forests. Wood is, after, all a recyclable product and less damaging to the environment than plastics or manufactured materials. All logging in Tasmania is now sustainable despite what some political agitators would have us believe. More than half of the Tasmanian landscape is protected forests.
