tea-tree house
The cradle of humanity, Africa, supposedly gave us the proverb that it takes a village to raise a child. Reading the plaque, almost as big as a billboard, you'd be forgiven for thinking it takes a cast of thousands to build a tree house!
Because I haven't been this way for ages I hadn't seen it before. They call it the Paperbark Treehouse and say it is stylistically a Melaleuca. Externally its a jarring, angular thing unlike the freeform shape of a typical paperbark or tea-tree. Perhaps it is apocryphal that someone so hated the Eiffel Tower that they spent time atop it so that it was not in their view. It's how I feel about this thing. Inside it is more beautiful; artistic. Outside it is all angles and engineering.
I quite like this sculptural piece which very much mimics in form the woody fruits of Genus Melaleuca. But I can't stay. The longer I dally, the nearer I am to a wet walk. I'm glad for the company of my umbrella.
