Hello again

There is something afoot in Richmond Park; neatly stacked sticks and branches forming dens, camps or even dinosaur skeletons (see image).

On a trip there last week with my daughters, we happened upon a number of these man-made, low tech structures. I don't know who has built them or why (maybe someone can enlighten me) but they are great.

I like to think that they are built by everyone who ambles by. That each visitor adds a stick or two and that they evolve from nothing, with no design, no instruction, no title or label, no purpose, no point, no ownership and no explanation. Just in case that is how they evolved, I added a couple of sticks of my own - now I belong??

Until next time...
