Under construction


 This fence is made from stripped coconut leaf-fronds. Not sure what it was keeping in - or out - there were only two sides...

 
This construction was on a tiny island which appeared to only have vertical cliff faces for 'shores'. Apparently the 'birds-nest collectors' only come after the birds have nested and moved on, but security protects the ten-year leases of this site all year round.
 
 
This 'pier' was constructed from lego-like connections between pieces that resembled - and felt like -  airfilled, plastic bottles. Even the 'safety' rails were constructed from the same plastic with single rope-link.

How you define 'under construction' or 'temporary'? When does something become 'constructed' or 'permanent'? Or dare one say, 'finished'? Is anything ever finished?

Ha, I thought you were talking about 'when is a story truly finished?'
More amazing photos.

Thanks Lorraine. Yes, very inventive. We saw so many examples!

He he, Corinne! I was...sort of. The answer of course, as it is with any construction, literary or otherwise, is never!
