This is not a composite. These stupid men really did straddle a ladder on my neighbor's roof (with nothing to hold it down) and climbed up with a chain saw to cut off branches and take the tree down.
For the album cover challenge:
Name of band- Courbet
The Courbet was the lead ship of the class dreadnought battleship in the French Navy during WWI which also served in an auxiliary fashion during WWII.
Album title from The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo:
The church of Notre Dame de Paris is still no doubt, a majestic and sublime edifice. But, beautiful as it has been preserved in growing old, it is difficult not to sigh, not to wax indignant, before the numberless degradations and mutilations which time and men have both caused the venerable monument to suffer without respect to Chalemange, who laid its first stone, or for Philip Augustus, who laid the last. On the face of this aged queen of our cathedrals, by the side of a wrinkle, one always finds a scar. Tempus edax, homo edacior; which I should be glad to translate. Thus time is blind; man is stupid.
@randystreat Thanks Kathy! I was taking the picture through a window in my living room although I probably could have taken it outside with no trouble from them.
Thank you Marnie, Diane, Jackie, Shanne, Nicole, Lou Ann, Katy, Paul and Marilyn!
I laughed at every one of your comments- your assessment of this spectacle was spot on!
@nicolecampbell @grammyn That is what I said when I posted this picture back in 2016 when I originally took it!
@lsquared Thanks Larry! And the same to you!!
