Description
tHIS IS IN NORTH lOUISIANA. First time I every saw something like this. not even on tv I saw his. It was sunday and theplace was closed. I would have love to go and ask these people why they was watering the logs. Only thing I could think of was they did not wish the logs to crack!
i not surewhat they doing with the logs. maybe to make logs for log cabins? but those types of logs I hear is from trees that died already and they cut them down then for log cabins. Most the time in forse fires they go in and cut the deadtrees for that? Or so i read.
anyway some of you wishto see the images i posted yesterday large so here some will be posted.
like i say it was a rainy and misty day as I was going down this road. I came up on I-49 but came back on another road and I got lost. I happy I did get lost for I used less gas and took off a hour and a halve of trave time and that includeing the times I stop to ask how to get somewhere. Not bad for getting lost. sometime it not a good deal to trave down the super highways. Plus you miss the good sites too if you used the super highways
thanks for looking and comments

Wonderful shot Jocko...very interesting moment ...but the odour ? very stark, with water on wood !

Unique & surreal whatever the reason...

I think you are right, it is to keep the wood from cracking. Terrific capture!

Great shot - I agree with the others on the why of watering. The other reason to keep them wet would be if they had been recovered from a waterway ie where timber is normaly transported by floating them down. There is a buisness in recovering logs that sink and they have to be kept wet until they are cut or they can be damaged very quickly.

They must be treating the wood to preseve it somehow.It is interesting that you found a shortcut while getting lost.It was fortunate.

That water spraying has a special reason, it's that the wood don't try out! Nice shot, hug's Ute

O.K. take two, I suggested that there might be an excesive heat build up, just like when you make compost...but nobody seems to have listened to me...oh well ! Interesting series and it sure pays to get lost ! ~Cheers~

Very interesting! I never use the big roads if I can avoid it, much more exciting in the lanes.

Sometimes it's fun getting lost and discovering all kinds of neat things....cool shot and I guess it's probably to cut down on the saw dust like someone said Hugs ~

Makes sense that they would water them so they won't crack especially if they are for log cabins... never seen it before now tho.

Excellent shot. Perhaps they are afraid the logs would catch on fire?

I was going to guess that they did it to keep the sawdust down, then saw that several people already pointed that out! Fascinating group of shots, though. You have an amazing talent for seeing the mundane in an extraordinary way.
