Yes the big tree was pretty spectacular. I got to look at it quite awhile waiting to get a picture of it with not so many people,hehe. I also got a picture of it with someone that accompanied me, almost shared, hehe.
Doing construction is hard work but doing it in an unfamiliar place during a World War is even more challenging. Because of the conditions and the war effort they probably didn't have the top of the line equipment at the time available to them.
