The designer for this simple shelter is unknown. It's tucked away in a remote national park in Southwest China, the same place where I obtained my 'Original photograph'. The elevated boardwalk takes the visitor around the entire lake, a place of spiritual significance for the local Tibetans. It caters very well to the lone traveler, encouraging intimate appreciation of the vegetation along the way. In peak season, it helps to minimize soil compaction. Timber was sourced locally. The way the boardwalk curves through the landscape allows exploration, but at the same time maintains a sense of respect for the land. Great architecture facilitates awareness!
