Logs of Dialogues, a sculpture that consist of 18 logs painted with eyes and open mouths and was created by Dr. Subdoh Kerkar. An ode to dialogue, it is a response to the rise of terrorism. Dr Kerkar said: “Terrorism is a product of a lack of communication, the world needs dialogue more than ever before.”

Unique use for logs from a recently downed tree. When I think of a log fence I normally think of the logs being horizontal not like this. Orem, Utah.
Happy Fence Friday!
Saw this amazing demonstration of Log Cutting at The West Mids show in Shrewsbury. Notice how the axeman has created a step by inserting a board into a hole that he cut earlier. This demonstrated how they scale a tree to lop the top off. The power these guys have is awesome, they get through really thick logs in no time.
There is no statue of Lincoln in the park. Instead you will find this outsized replica of the cabin where he was born inside the memorial. (The original is in the Chicago Historical Society.)
I finally got a shot of this speedy Gonzales, and wouldn't you know he is missing his pretty tail, probably to Lucy, who main goal in life seems to be hunt lizards , second to tormenting the cats by chasing it up the trees.
I admit to being a house hoarder. I play the Game of Homes constantly but this one, oh my, this one is a gem and a forever home. Never mind being surrounded by water but it bumps into the next region and has a small island attached which makes my land look enormous. Now I need to figure out which other ones don't measure up so I can throw them back into the pool.
Near the shore of Kluane Lake, Yukon. My first trip to this part of Canada and hopefully not the last.
After all the tries to get a Victorian on the water got a log home on a lake on one of my first shots so wheeee!
Excerpt from www.insidehalton.com/news/burlington-history-part-of-natu...:
Simon Frank brings together the natural environment with the history of the Mountainside community in a new public art piece inspired by the expansive forest surrounding the Burlington recreation centre.
The Hamilton resident’s installation of several large-scale stainless steel tree slices – each with laser-etched growth rings – was unveiled in a ceremony Sunday.
“I’m really interested in connecting the things that we do as people, and our history, our culture, with nature,” Frank told the Post.
Displayed in two parts on the exterior laminate faux wood walls, one large tree slice includes words representative of the area’s history that were contributed by local residents.
“In this case the text is just part of addressing the human history and for me I think human history should never be separated from the sort of natural history,” Frank said.
More than a dozen other smaller pieces near the front entrance reflect Frank’s own reflections about the space.

Etched stainless steel
Log is a site-responsive artwork that takes its inspiration from the forest that surrounds Mountainside. The idea for Log grew out of the artist’s time spent exploring the network of trails on the property and consulting with residents about the site. The artwork attempts to make important connections between the human and natural histories of the place. In the same way that the growth rings of a cut tree act as a clear record of the age of the tree, the tree’s rings can also be linked directly to the events of history, as a kind of concentric timeline. The stainless steel tree sections that comprise Log represent just such a connection - making visible some of the important moments in the history of both Burlington and the Mountainside community.
Yesterday was a nice day here. We have some tree rounds drying for splitting, and the flies like to settle on them for the warmth. I'd seen a good sized hover fly settle, but it departed as I approached. This tiny fly kept coming back, so I used it as the subject instead. Using the 200mm f/4 with the 6T close-up (both Nikon).
There is always lots of felling in this area of France where the forests and woodland are dense with trees. The recent storms here have left lots of uprooted trees that im sure can be used as firewood for the winter months.

Running a day late due to unloading delays at Chirk (thanks for the info Rich), 60076 heads south past Stokesay Castle with 6V54 to Baglan Bay, South Wales to pick up more logs to make kitchens and the like, Sunday 31.5.15
Logged Off......? It was sunny a few minutes either side of it coming through!
L555 heads into the siding at the Tony log transload facility. This operation was recently established to move the log loading out of downtown Ladysmith, and it brought at least a little bit of traffic to the dormant Bradley Sub.
The trees that are being loaded onto this tractor trailer were likely levelled during the derecho that swept through the Ottawa area last May. I spoke with the truck operator who told me that these logs were destined to be processed at a saw mill some 5.5 hours away, in the Beauce region of Québec.

Fellowship Park
Hwy. 126
Blountville, Tn.
From the Blountville First Baptist Church website:
"The historic log structure from the late 1700s was built in an area possibly known as Sapling Grove in Johnson County, Mountain City, Tn. In the late 1950's it was moved to Elizabethton where it was part of a tourist attraction which included a house that belonged to Andrew Johnson (seventeenth president of the United States). The church was purchased and donated to First Baptist by JoAnn Steele in memory of her husband, John H. Steele.
It was relocated to Fellowship Park after spending a year in her barn. JoAnn has been the driving force of "re-creating" this historic church. In features antique handmade pews and handmade furniture from the Steele family. The doors were made from wood removed from their barn which over a hundred years old. The floors came from trees cut and sawed on their farm by her husband. Most of the hardware is original and made by a blacksmith."
This beautiful old church is in the tiny village of Copper Center, Alaska. I think that the log construction is very interesting, from the foundation; to the old wooden cross on the top of the steeple.
