Chainsawing in the mountains

Description:
Staying overnight at Rifugio San Marco in the Dolomites, we hear the sound of someone chainsawing logs off at a distance, somewhere below us. You can hear two different types of chainsaw being started up and used, one smaller and one larger, birdsong, and the wind gently rustling through the trees all around us. Oddly, at such a distance and being carried by the unique qualities of mountain air, the chainsaw - not a device known for inducing calm - sounds strangely relaxing to us.
