Tree Trimming - African Style

This big tree is in the school yard behind us. Our security people made them trim off the branches that were coming over our fence. Tree trimming is done a little differently here than at home in Idaho. The worker climbed up the tree and started with a machete cutting off the smaller twigs, etc. Then out came the axe to work on the bigger branches. I took a few video shots and have included one of those. He is barefoot (no sissy steel-toed boots), so I am glad that the axe never slipped. Have fun imagining you were here in hot, steamy Africa with us!
