Water Logging


Loading a small forest on to a barge for parts unknown.
The tug stabilizes the barge and a tiny push boat rounds up the logs
for the cranes claw that gently places them in the stack

The guy on the boat is recording the loading.
The person running the push boat was a woman.
There are two guys on the crane, an operator and a go-fer.
The seagulls wait on the logs just in case there’s food.
You never know what the tide is going to bring in.

Great photo. That load loos unstable to the Nth degree. Amazing they can move it at all. Very interesting to see, John. V

I wonder how many number 2 pencils could be made from this? V

That's a lot of timber. Looks precarious with this perspective and focal length. "V"

That looks like a frightening operation. One wonders where the C.G (center of gravity) is in this

Oh my ! looks top heavy to me - interesting way of transporting logs !

perhaps bound for the mill in Port Townsend?...interesting they are transported by barge and not in a boom...strong image of a key PNW industry...you have filled the frame so astutely..
