Bivouacs

Not far from the Tangihua Lions Lodge is an area where kids on school camps can make bivouacs using dead material from the forest floor.  Sometimes students sleep a night in their creations.

I thought to post some photos of the efforts of the school that was there last week after I heard someone refer to the bivouac of life and held my tongue rather than admit I had no idea what he was talking about.  Thank heavens for Google.  It's a good expression referring to life as a temporary shelter.  Google tells me "it re-emphasises that we are on earth only for a limited period of time and whatever we wish for should be achieved while we are alive."
