A smallest Hut..

Posted by Veena Shivanna (Bengalooru, India) on 28 March 2007 in Plant & Nature.

This was the smallest hut I have ever seen. Just on top of a small tree..
Rachegowda uses this to sit & watch the happenings around the fields. sometime he sleeps here too! Amazing it was..

Sometimes I yearn for the simplicity of rural life when I see such images.
Good work Veena!

@Anand Balaji: You can try out living in any such village, it would be a different experience!

Amidst some fields, near nanjangud ! ....
House ella alla srik, its just a place to sit & of course it has a protection from rains & sun!

Veena madam, I have had my share of living out in villages, thank you! I am not alien to that experience. But I have never lived in a hut on top of a tree!!!
This 'perch' if I can call it that, is mainly used to ward off animals that enter the farms and not particularly for living in it.

Oh ho. I have been in such places too. Not in villages. But in forest sactuaries where they use it as a watch tower! :)

Amazing perspective created by the bamboo ladder. Very interesting shot!

@Helen: Helen, welcome to my blog.
I think the ladder that is kept there is to get into the small hut.

Anand Balaji from Bangalore, India

Hi Helen!
Haven't you come across any similar dwelling place put up by aborigines in your country? Or is it true that they were/are predominantly cave-dwellers?
