What a beautiful sunrise! I was sawing logs all night!
Well, actually, the Park Service wouldn't appreciate that. These trees fell naturally; the flora and fauna in the area are protected by law.

Eventually, the fallen trees return their nutrients to the soil where they are available for the living trees!
