And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Lumberjacks sit on a giant spruce log 30 feet in circumference. Cascade Mountains, Washington, 1905

Nice one. There are lots of old logging pics in this state.
ReplyDeleteUsed to be some big trees on the West side of Washington.
There are some great photos in this book about Darius and Tabitha Kinsey

Point of order:
ReplyDeleteThat's maybe 10 feet in circumference, max.
If it were 30 feet, it would extend from one side of the frame to the other.

ReplyDeleteCheck your statement Aesop. It says circumference, not diameter.
