    25 years is pretty good for a roof. Nice shot of the process.
    Fujifilm X-T5, XF16-80 f/4, XF70-300 f/4-5.6, XF23 f/2, XF35 f/2, XF150-600 f/5.6-8, and a random assortment of 35mm film cameras.

      I was impressed with its engineering qualities and the material is free they grow a patch of it just outside the village. I would have thought they would alternate the curvature for a more stable surface and exposing tmore of the outside of the bamboo but I havn't been the benifisiary of many generations of bamboo roof builders.

    G'day Hans

    Always interesting to see other places / workers / doing things we also need to so as well

    As for "only 25 yrs" we have a state gov't that has just demolished a multi-million dollar stadium built for the olympics 20-odd yrs ago and now only used for thugby, to replace it with another multi-million dollar stadium of a rectangular design that can never be used for anything but thugby

      Must be where they think the votes come from we have a council with a similar mentality.

      They don't care that much Phil, it's not their money.

    Good image of people being creative and hard at it Hans. Could you imagine the hoops you'd have to go through to get that done in Oz?
