Tree down

High Road (Route 1-A)

Newbury, MA

I saw this man chopping wood next to his house, so I stopped to ask if I could take his picture.



I assumed the wood was from a fallen tree from the recent storm, but I didn't see a tree stump nearby.

When I asked where the tree fell, he pointed across the road.


The DPW guys said he could have all the wood he could haul away. Free firewood!

Someone else who had stopped was busy counting the rings. This tree was about 120 years old!
