A TREE FALLS IN MANASSAS. We've been having some dead trees taken out on the property, and this one proved interesting. Because of its nearness to our neighbor, the tree service decided to drop it vertically by attaching it to a nearby tree, cutting it at the base, and then winching it down about 4 feet at a time. Here it is just after the first cut was made ....

And here it is about three cuts later as the crown is about to be removed.

It started raining shortly after this photo was taken or the tree would be firewood by now.
