Default He's a Lumberjack and he's ok.

Classic Monty python skit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zey8567bcg

Captured this large 15 foot lumberjack carving while driving through Tokoroa central north Island NZ. He is made from timber and is very well carved, couldn't resist not taking a few captures from different angles.

Thanks for viewing, cheers Steve

Steve, I like how you captured all the detail in the Lumberjack. You can see the muscles in his arm. Good depiction of a working man!
