These structures come and go, built, destroyed and rebuilt. Most of these are built by summer visitors and local fishermen, some by passersby but no matter of extravagance or structure or design; they are, in their existence, ever changing and temporary.

Made a stop at a local area where these are built the day before and found this new one. Returned the next day with luckily the same grey overcast but sometimes the sun broke through the clouds conditions.

There's quite a local beach where these are built and rebuilt and captured this one on a light foggy morning. After having this Bausch & Lomb - Unicum shutter CLA'd it has a Rapid Rectilinear lens on it and I thought I'd give it a go. Even with the large amount of balsam separation on the rear lens (this is where the cement holding the glass together starts to give out) I like the rendering it has. Surprisingly, come to find out, the SEROCO brand is actually the Sears & Roebuck Company. You never know what might do well.
