Stick Teepee??

This stick construction was at our campsite in the Bungonia National Park campground. I thought it looked a lot like a teepee, but I have no idea what it's purpose would be? I doubt that it's for a campfire as fires aren't allowed in the campground. I guess it's possibly just campers adding sticks to the sticks, until it's got to what it is now. We also added a couple of sticks to it, just to add our little bit...lol

We have loads of these up Beacon Fell too & I think when they bring schools up there the kids are set to build them. They look good don’t they?

maybe it was just fun?

[Diana]

They certainly are beautiful, maybe Pat is right.

[Wylie]

There are a couple on our local walk too. Eeyore's houses?

[Susan Wakely]

I am with Pat on this as seen children building these as a team building exercise.

I saw this in another Australian photo and I think its now, people want to creat something like this. Previously they made pyramids out of stones!

[Lee-Ann]

Maybe a big bonfire :-)

[moni kozi]

:) funny narrative. Might it be a construction to stack hay on?

[Margo]

Maybe a sun shade to sit under!!

I would love have a nap in it.

Great double image. As I am a bit intrigued with collages at the moment, can I ask what you use to do yours?

Great hideout for a little kid

[Delwyn Barnett]

We also get quite a few built on our local beach - from the driftwood. They look cool.

[Dione Giorgio]

Probably a kids' hideout. Makes a lovely addition to the park.

[Valerie Chesney]

Yes, they have these in our Botanic Gardens here & the kids love them.. Someone has built these & left them for others to enjoy...lovely.

[Peter Dulis]

looks like a kids fort :)

[Babs]

I think it was built by kids too. Our kids used to build dens like this in the bushland at the back of our house when we lived in Cyprus.

Whatever it is, it sure is interesting looking.

It might still let some rain in, but a good build. FAV

In the UK, building structures like this is a popular outdoor activity for scouts and school groups. This link is to a shot I posted last year with my grandchildren sat in such a shelter - https://365project.org/fishers/365/2020-09-02

I love the colour, clarity and detail on your shot - fav!

Great find and capture

[Judith Johnson]

It's children making shelters! We used to do this as one of the activities when we went on a school trip with our infant classes. When we had made our shelters the children would have their snack in the shelter.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Hmmm...maybe it was to be like a cairn only since they didn't have rocks, they used sticks. Good catch!

[Ryan]

Looks like a teepee to me!

[Bill]

In the states, sometimes they gather dead branches in the forest and pile them so fire fuel is spread throughout the forest. Clearly it doesn't always work since it seem half of our west is on fire.

Neat structure. Well captured

@ankers70 I use a website called ipiccy, can only be used on a computer though, not a phone or tablet

[Suzanne]
