A wood carving of a life size or larger man standing on a stump with his hand in the air as if holding something, but he is not. He has an awkward but somehow satisfied look on his face.

@laureola.bsky.social and I took the slow road from SF to Portland for #TypeCon. There are many sign pics to share, but my favorite thing of all is probably this guy.

This black and white photograph depicts a desolate landscape of cut-over land, likely the remnants of once-towering trees now reduced to stumps. In this vast expanse, numerous tree trunks stand as stark reminders of their former glory amidst what appears to be an open field or clearing with sparse vegetation in patches. The scene is devoid of human presence and activity, which accentuates a sense of abandonment and desolation. The background reveals more trees and possibly hills or low mountains at the far end, suggesting that this area was once forested but has been significantly affected by logging activities. Notably, there are several wooden poles rising above some tree stumps in what could be remnants of structures like power lines or telephone wires, hinting at past human habitation. A body of water is visible on one side, and a fence runs parallel to it, potentially marking the boundary between this cut-over land and other properties. The overall mood conveyed by the photograph is somber and reflective, capturing an environmental impact that has transformed a landscape once lush with life into its current barren state.

This black and white historical photograph captures a rural landscape featuring numerous stumps scattered across an expansive field. The scene is dominated by the remains of once-great trees, indicative of significant logging activity in this region. In the foreground, the topography rises gently upward with vegetation sparse on its slope, hinting at either early development or land clearing for future use. In the midground, a series of small wooden structures, possibly outbuildings and storage sheds associated with agricultural activities, stand amid patches of cultivated fields divided by dirt roads. The farmland appears to be in various stages of cultivation; some plots are tilled and ready for planting, while others show signs of recent crop harvesting. The background is characterized by rolling hills densely populated with coniferous trees, creating a continuous green tapestry stretching towards the horizon where they meet a misty or overcast sky. The absence of human figures suggests either an abandoned area or a moment captured before activity resumed after photography took place. Overall, this image provides insight into rural life and logging practices in early 20th-century California, offering visual evidence of land use and environmental impact from that era.
