Swinging around in the treetops on a cherry picker trying to get utility lines untangled from limbs for repairs isn't exactly a pleasant task. This picture was taken from Alford Avenue on Shades Mountain of a telephone crew working in a frozen winter wonderland. The worker swings high in the treetops, repairing lines damaged by freezing temperatures during what some call the area's worst-ever winter storm. (Alabama)
