Wordless Wednesday

When I was in Mwanza in 2004, we stayed in a hotel that was in the process of building an entirely new building in the rear of the property. The building we stayed in was only three stories and about 6 rooms per story. As you can see the new building will be much bigger. I think it is interesting to see the difference in construction over there compared to here. There are no cranes doing this work. It takes years as everything is carried and put into place by hand.
The trees in front of the new building are interesting too. The tall one in the back looked a lot like a pine tree until you looked at it closer.

And the other tree with the brown things on it was stranger. The brown things seemed to me to be some kind of a seed pod. It didn't look like any type of fruit though. Each of the pods was covered in prickly spikes.
