Friends In High Places

These 2 were part of a group doing tree surgery around our office today. It's the last day of the year for tree felling - after February, you can't cut down trees until winter. Protects the nesting birds, you see.

After they'd finished lopping off branches and what have you, they went as high as the crane would stretch. This meant they were higher than my office and there isn't anywhere in Wiesbaden that's higher up than that. And as you can see, they took Fotos with their phones.

Interesting Grammatical difference No. 1000000 - in German you "make" Fotos, in English you "take" them.
