New Caledonia Ruins of Lifou
Situated next to a temple, this construction has to represent the rests of the previous temple. I was not able to find any explanations on this matter online or with locals. It was probably built by the missionaries when they discovered this island.
Photography Tips
Come at golden hour to get soft light on the ruins. You can widen your frame and include the new temple.
