Freshly cut timber. Pile of recently cut logs being kept wet with a sprinkler. This is done to keep insects out of the wood, make removal of the bark much easier, keep the wood from developing fungus or mould, prevent it from drying out and cracking and to make it easier to saw. Photographed near Hogsback, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
