Mum got quite excited about the forests around the campsite.
The forests were planted as part of a coastal reclamation scheme that Mum studied at school for her O-level Geography. We worked out by counting the rings on the trees that these were the very saplings that Mum studied in her text books.
I added a front porch with benches to the Hunting Lodge! Modifying log buildings is very simple with Lincoln Logs. I just lift at the appropriate level and everything comes off in one piece for modifications. Then it all sets back on nice as well.
another bit of "driftwood" from the same storm as previous -- the sea had chewed it up and spat it out again something fierce
A tulip tree is feld, hollowed and shaped to a 2 inch thinkness, the steam and strechers are added to widen the middle of the canoe. The canoe makers told me that the Natives would add water to the canoe and heated stones to do this.
Now when I'm back in Iceland I can quietly go back to the woods of Sweden through my pictures. On my first walks I found wood logs all over the place ... but on my last walk all the logs were gone, so I felt enormous joy in my heart, knowing the images had already been cought by my camera ... better safe than sorry :)
Several members of my Mom's family worked the logging industry in Washington, Oregon and California--my uncle probably took the photo-
This is now my desktop background. I can imagine rubbing my hand along the log - feeling the roughness and grain....
This log has protected the softer mudstone under it from the erosive effects of pelting rain. And as a result it now sits slightly elevated on a small pedestal.

The Long Causeway is a medieval packhorse road known as the Long Causey or Long Causeway which runs west from Sheffield. Although it is widely believed that the Long Causeway follows the line of an ancient Roman road that ran from Templeborough Roman fort to the fort at Navio (Brough-on-Noe), archaeologists dispute this.
Logs washed up on the beach at the mouth of the Pieman River on the west coast of Tasmania. Back in the early days, when this area was first opened up and logged, the logs were floated down the river and loaded onto sailing ships which sailed down and around to Hobart. A very treachorous and dangerous journey indeed! Many a ship was lost trying to navigate the heads into the relative safety of the Pieman River. Today, if you know what you are looking for, you may be lucky enough to find a piece of the "coveted" huon pine.
