I have never worked on a construction site so long and I do not intend to do so in the future, but I love scaffolding.

I don’t know the reason I am attracted by them. Maybe it’s because of the early anticipation for the new building behind? Or simply because I like the Wabi-Sabi style, where there is beauty everywhere and within everything?

However, here are a couple of photographs of my favourite scaffolding.

Edinburgh, 2022. Scaffolding and the play with pictoresque colours in perfection - beautiful! One of my favourites!

No scaffolding - but it looks like, at least some kind of, doesn't it? I love this building!
