Aerial view of a Siberian sawmill
Sawmill. Aerial view of the Lesosibirski Sawmill No.1. In the foreground are pools used to defrost the logs when they arrive. They are then sorted in the yard (centre) before being sent to the mill buildings at the top of the frame. This yard takes in about 1 million cubic metres of logs per year, producing 0.3 million cubic metres of sawn wood and 24 million square metres of fibreboard. The sawmill is located in the huge Krasnoyarsk Kray forests of central Russia

This aerial view showcases the impressive scale and operations of the Lesosibirski Sawmill No. 1, nestled within the vast Krasnoyarsk Kray forests of central Russia. The photograph captures a bird's eye perspective, revealing various elements crucial to the sawmill's functioning. In the foreground, we observe expansive pools strategically designed for defrosting logs upon arrival. These logs are meticulously sorted in the bustling yard at the center of the frame before being transported to the mill buildings atop. Remarkably, this yard accommodates an astounding one million cubic meters of logs annually. The productivity of this Siberian sawmill is truly awe-inspiring; it yields 0.3 million cubic meters of high-quality sawn wood and an astonishing 24 million square meters of fiberboard each year. This remarkable output highlights its significant contribution to Russia's economy as a key player in its forestry sector. The presence of cranes scattered throughout emphasizes efficient material handling processes while underscoring sustainable practices inherent in arboriculture and timber production. Moreover, with water playing a vital role in defrosting these raw resources, there is a clear emphasis on utilizing renewable resources responsibly. This visually striking image serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's abundance coexisting harmoniously amidst Siberia's breathtaking landscapes. It encapsulates not only economic prowess but also underscores our reliance on natural resources while emphasizing responsible utilization for future generations' benefit.
