Trimming the trees

Trimming tree in Antigua

The problem with old trees is that they are too tall; trimming the old branches becomes an ordeal. Here two employees of Hotel Antigua can not reach the branches even though they are using scaffolds. They need the help of a third employee who is on the tree.

Can you spot the third employee on the tree?

    Yup, altho he is in shadows, maximizing the photo confirms the spot where he is. I was more taken by the bicyclist riding along the wall. Again, that tells a lot about daily life.

    It would be great if they had a bucket truck. It would make the job simple.

    Kate: you have a pretty good eye. I can not see him. I know he is there because I took the photo.

    Carol: Welcome to the Daily Photo Family.

    Sompopo: what is a bucket truck?

    Midnitebara: I would like to see Japanese tree trimmers… let us know when you publish a photo of tree trimming.

    A bucket truck is a large truck with a hydraulic arm that extends out and upward and has a man/woman sized bucket on the end of it. It lifts the worker to the desired height. In some parts of the country they are referred to as “Cherry Pickers” because they use them (or used to) to reach the hights in the cherry tree. :-)

    Sompopo: thanks for your reply. I believe these truck is what the electric company uses for wire and pole repairs.

    Yep, you got it.

    [...] Many of the deliveries are still done by bike. If you recall my post about daily bread delivery service on September 24th, you might remember that bread delivery was done on a bicycle. Also, just a few days ago I mentioned that bicycles are among the most widely used vehicles in Antigua on October 11th. Actually, many of the photos show bicycles riders on the background as Kate commented on the tree trimming entry. Bicycles are great vehicles for deliveries as well and they do not pollute. [...]
