Joseph Balku takes photos as his 80 ft. tall, 50 ft. diameter, 10-ton Norway Spruce tree is cut down by crews at his home in Flanders, N.J., Nov. 13, 2012. The tree will be this years Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. The tree survived the winds of Superstorm Sandy that left a path of destruction in this New Jersey town and left Balku without electricity for weeks.
