A very skilled profession, they deserve every penny they earn!

Excellent capture, he must be very careful and well protected. Kind of dangerous job. V.

None of it looks safe to me. Good catch of him hard at work.

Gum trees are rarely trimmed here as it tends to weaken their structure. No tree trimmer would dare work without a helmut either as it is a workplace law...funny how things are done differently in each country. A good photo of both titles

Yes, dangerous work. Good capture!

Was shocked to see the top picture as our landscaper just had a 30 foot fall from a tree (not here), when a branch collapsed and was on life support and not expected to live, but is now breathing on his own, though in a coma. Tree work is very, very, very dangerous, and the reason we pay so much to have it done is that the workers' insurance is extremely high. He is a most amazing man - 1st generation I believe form Central America and has built a huge business in the area, employing many people. We were very shocked and saddened to hear of his mishap. I notice that the man in this picture is not wearing a helmet. Our José was, but it was dislodged in the fall.
