Autumn 'Elagage'

Cutting back the trees (élagage) in our street is quite a task. These massive vehicles come in and trim the sides and tops of the trees. All motor cars in the street are warned not to park there whilst the work is on-going, but I see one small white car who didn't get the memo! I took this from our upstairs bathroom window as I watched the work going on yesterday morning. Fascinating.

Oops - hope the little car survives!

interesting scene, panel beater's paradise!

It's a major but necessary operation, isn't it? You can barely see the guy up high, he's so well camouflaged!

[KWind]

That's a huge piece of machinery! Great shot.

A accident free zone I hope with no casualties !!

[Mickey Anderson]

I love that machine, could have used it a month ago!!

[Christine Meert]

Are they "platanes?"

What a lovely tree-lined lane you live on. The car is dwarfed by the size of the machine! Perhaps it was a small car to start with.

I love it when you share a new word with me; this time "hessian" for what I call 'burlap'. Thanks for the complimentary comment on my bread picture. I finally enjoyed a slice this morning. Mmmm... tasty, it was.

Nice natural capture -- a street scene without the people. Looks like a nice neighborhood.

[Issi Bannerman]

@toune Oui! They are indeed. :-)

[Leana Niemand]

A great shot, I guess all the leaves will be gone soon.

[Stephanie Swift]

I like the comp and soft colour in this.

[Anneli Salo]

A great picture and the story too.
