Description
Photograph of a logging scene in Oregon, ac.1920. Thick logs run through uneven terrain from the right foreground to the center background. The logs are stacked onto a shoot that is composed of leading logs in the ground and upper logs running along the line. Six men stand in the center foreground wearing hats and suspenders. A portable steam winch (aka "the donkey engine") sits to the left of the logs while two spools of cable rest in front with the cables extending to the left and off the image. The hilly ground surrounding the logs is covered in tall trees and branches.
