Rustic

rus.tic / adj (1) simple; unaffected: (2) rough; unrefined: (3) of rough workmanship:

 

Rustic is beautiful. The air is breezy most of the time, the shallow water of the sea is only metres away. At night, you can hear the whispers of the wind, and the constant but soft rumbling of the sea as the gentle waves come ashore. Life is simple and beautiful... rustic in every sense of the word.

 

This photo was taken within the compound of a travellers inn, about 20 minutes' drive from Kota Kinabalu. Yes, I heard the whispers and the rumbling. My room was just above those stilts.
