Kampung Bamboo Bridge In Indonesia - Year 1883 Frame

Description:

Kampung in Indonesia

Native hanging bridge connecting a kampong to the road beyond. These native  constructions were almost always done with bamboo as they are plentiful in the  Indies. Despite the fragile and thin- looking material, these bridges were able to  support the weight of animal-drawn carts. On the left a shopkeeper speaks with a  customer and native peddlers cross using the hanging bridge.
