The Arborist

A quick mono straight-out-of-phone (that would make it soop, instead of sooc) capture through my windscreen as I was driving into Grand Baie.

Traffic had thankfully come to a standstill while the young guy was high up there, sawing the branch off bit by bit. He must've scrambled up that tree with his electric saw with the cables dangling all over the place, as there were no ladders.

Incredible - he has nothing really for balance. How he stays up there sawing away with nothing to counter-balance him is just wild. At the moment he has that limb behind him, but once he works his way down and that part is sawn off, then what.
That is insane! The odds that happen to be there for the shoot

Spectacular timing and image. An amazing silhouette that tells a risky story.

@pdulis lol! - I think you may have to be one to do something like this! He showed absolutely no fear or nervousness, completely at ease.

This is certainly not a job for the faint hearted.

This doesn't look like the smartest way to approach and cut that limb. Well spotted.
