Sentinels

I guess this is a project, a building, that’s still in progress. Many of these dwellings take years to complete, depending on the financial situation. The big building in the background (probably an apartment block of some sort) has also not yet been completed.

Lack of money is usually the reason for these intermittent delays in progress. The owners get a bit of money, they work on the building, then the money runs out and the half-built building stays there until some more money pops up.

But I find this one in the foreground quite a haunting sight; those rusted metal support column things (I don’t know the correct terminology for them) covered by half-dead vines and overgrown vegetation, the property in a general state of neglect and decay. I hope the money pops up again soon!
Such a shame… you live on beautiful island.

It is sad to see building sites deteriorate. It happens here. Then one day, there's a flurry of activity and voila - a new home or whatever.

Yes, exactly that - either money arrives, or they've sold and a new owner arrives. But often the new owner runs out of money too - or a family squabble concerning the property arises and the squabble remains unresolved and stays in court for years - so its back to square one!

Good capture of abandoned construction. Hopefully it will be completed before nature reclaims it.
