Tree planting (3)

A close-up of the tree-planting venture seen below, where a giant crane would lift trees on flatbed trucks into the air and carry them to the crews waiting to plant them. The guy in the tree was freeing the crane from the branches, a large one of which sadly broke off. At one point the tree started to fall over, but they righted it and got it in the ground.
