A man is seen splitting logs with an axe into firewood in the outskirts of Dimapur in preparation for the next winter. The ideal time to cut firewood is in the late winter or early spring, at least six months ahead of using it in order to allow maximum drying time. The freshly cut wood will be dried in the sun before the onset of the rainy season and will then be stacked in a shed. (Morung Photo)
