LOOK: Logging Photos from Oconto County, Wisconsin (1823-1920)

"Temporary cabins were constructed right after the harvest season in fall, by the woodsmen, in the area to be worked. These log buildings housed the loggers and other camp residents for that particular winter. These were typical of the late 1800's from the Wheeler area, which is now known as Lakewood, in the northwestern part of the county. Often they were dismantled and rebuilt the next fall in a new location."

6 Men On Logs.
"The relative size of these northern Wisconsin trees can be understood when compared to the size of the full grown men standing on them. After cutting, came the trimming off of all the branches, which were then cut to use and sell as firewood."

LOOK: FOREST FALL COLOUR PHOTO HUNT IN NORWAY

I just discovered these beautiful photos and had to share them. I was hoping to do a similar journey this year, but it fell through and I didn't really have the money anyway. Maybe next year...

AUTUMN

“Summer passes into autumn
    in some unimaginable point of time,
       like the turning of a leaf.”

— Henry David Thoreau

My Autumn's Done Come

Lee Hazlewood - My Autumn's Done Come

Well it feels like autumn has officially arrived here. It's windier, wetter, darker and cooler than it has been in months and I'm already looking forward to the winter! They're going to show the BBC's Yellowstone documentary on TV tonight and even though I own the DVD, it's one of those things that reminds me of this time of year and I can't wait to watch it again! It's also approaching moose hunting season here and I went on my first hunt last year and look forward to this year's hunt! Whilst we didn't kill anything last year during my two days, we did see a family of moose in the distance and it was a beautiful moment. The silence of the woods at this time of year just can't be beaten and the autumnal colours provide a perfect backdrop.
