This weeks selection is brought to you courtesy of Georgia Power.  It seems
that someone noticed how expensive the ice storm was in the Midwest US in
terms of lost service and expensive repairs.  Therefore the tree trimmers
were out earlier than usual this year trimming limbs near power lines.

The first selection is the bucket passing between lines to get to offending
limbs.

Second, because it is so hard to position the boom between the wires the
workers frequently reach way out of the bucket to get a limb.

This third shot is a general view of the chaotic conditions these workers
encounter.  Or, it indicates why the power company wants the limbs trimmed.

Last, after numerous lawsuits concerning damage to landscaping care was
taken to remove downed limbs from yards.

All images taken with the current 90 Elmarit on Delta 400 overexposed one
stop to capture some detail in the faces of the workers.

Use those electrons, support broadband before another company goes under.
You get the drift, comments cheerfully accepted and desired.
