They are, and the older ones that isn't as big also.
It's a shame that so many was cut for no more than a fire, or building a shack.

I climbed on when I was 16 but I had to change trees from a red cedar to a hemlock or a douglas fir to get tot he bottom branch. It got a bit scary when I got so high. I had never and never will get that high up a tree.switching back to the cedar when I came back was quite nerve racking

Last year I was in a 20 story office building with full glass windows, I was thinking of those trees as I looked down.

American Civil War Photographs Colourised For THe First Time

I like to look at old photos and visualise myself walking around in the scene. The pictures seem to come alive when I do this. According to quantum physics I may actually be putting myself in those times and places to some degree.

Some of those are very interesting. After reading a book on the prohibition the alchohol dumping, there is nothing wrong with that gorgeous woman in 1907 [ Kellerman I think her name is ]

I like seeing Ice like that fall, some just break off from the top, and crash. I bet the ice noise is loud there.

Death , and life, it all must go on.
It hurts to see those boys dead like that, so sad, and pathetic men has to fight because of failed leadership, or someones evil ambitions.
