Nature's Steel

In the previous post ,the abstract from the photo book mentions 'bamboo scaffolding'

Bamboo scaffolding, knotted aerial lines, hand painted signs or converted plastic bags: The objects photographed in Thailand by Thomas Kalak, the photographer from Munich, are sometimes unusual, both funny and peculiar, and often mind-boggling. Far from the world of clichés, Kalak finds motifs that complement and enhance the famous image of the country and simultaneously document the unshakable cheer of the Thai people as true masters of improvisation.

I was surfing the web this afternoon and came across a picture of some Bamboo Scaffolding in case you're curious.


All held together by hand-tied plastic rope.
