A Dizzying View from Above the Trees

Last weekend, I had Brothers Tree Works remove a couple dying trees from around the cabin. They asked if I wanted to go up for a ride in their cherry picker. I quickly agreed--but I might not have if I knew how high it would go. The hydraulic crane quickly unfolded and I was hundreds of feet above the forest floor. What a frightening, but amazing view. This is probably how high hawks fly.

Here are a few pics I snapped while at the top. As always, click on the photos for a larger view.

This looks west. On the mountaintop is "The Maharishi Purusha Capital of the Western World," a meditation center. (http://www.purushacapital.org)
