Yggdrasil the Tree of Life (Original PhotoSet)

"Yggdrasil, Tree of Life biggest structure of Afrika Burn 2017 (by Agust Helgason)"

During my first Afrika Burn this year, I noticed this big structure when I arrived on site. The first night I never slept, and when feeling the first hours of this early morning I decided to walk toward the structure that had intrigued me the day before.

The Vodchokolate Machine

Once inside I met two guys, that were pretending to have built this structure, they seemed a bit tired and drunk (I was too, since I had drunk probably half of my bottle of Jack that I carried with me during the night). They briefly told me their story and that it had been a month they were here building The Tree of Life. Suddenly Simon (one of the guy), told me to follow him, they offered me vodka and melted chocolate out of a strange machine that you had to activate a pump for it to release the melted mixture... but I forgot to take a picture, I was too amazed.

I warmly hugged and thank them for this gift and also congratulated them for this huge amount of work they achieved building the structure with the rest of their team. Then I kept visiting and shooting this sort of temple.

There was a ramp allowing visitors to climb it up and have a nice view from up there. The entire structure made of recycled pieces of wood that were all put together in a very tribal and intricated way.
