Shelter. Rest area

[spacecadet]

Refuge. But that's more of a mountain or wilderness thing. Shelter; belvedere if there's a view.

A tough one. I've looked at mine and I can't do much better.

btw refuse is a word for domestic rubbish.

[Joseph Clemson]

I would use the term shelter. If it were mine I would also add thatched, bench seat, rustic, rural, woodland and the specific location (assuming you are not in a location which forbids commercial photography).

Yes, sometimes the proper noun is too obscure!

 

Richard.

[Ed Rooney]

Thatched-roofed, straw-covered, English-style, Cotswold-style, shady rest stop, covered, kiosk that sells nothing, that structure out near the edge of the woods. 

[wiskerke]

Gazebo; palapa gazebo; (garden) pavilion; belvedere.

Why upload if it's this hard to define?

If it's a particular destination, fair enough. I've sold pavilions before. Also as an example of the thatcher's art. Or, as it's a bit threadbare, to illustrate the need for more expenditure in public parks.

Yes but how to keyword? How would clients be searching for such a topic or concept?

Agree on destination. Something like shelter hut in the XXX forest in Brandenburg.

Will that sell without people? Probably not. It cannot be bought either.

Gazebo is a good one, as Wim points out above.

 

Since this was captured in Germany and not Mexico or Central America, calling it a "palapa" is something of a reach. The term palapa is not even European Spanish; it's based on a Mayan word. Is there a Mayan community in Germany? 

[losdemas]

Whatever you call it, it'll probably sell for PU!  

 

Sorry - couldn't resist! 

[Barking]

Thatched gazebo...or possibly a Lapas 😀

Thatched parasol maybe?

 

[Joseph Clemson]

This is an interesting discussion on the difficulty in naming or describing relatively unusual objects. It does raise the question as to why a buyer would purchase this image. Granted, it is feasible that someone may need a picture of a thatched shelter. In which case we need to climb inside the buyers mind and think what terms the buyer might use to search fro such an image - 'thatched parasol' is wonderfully imaginative but seems an unlikely candidate for a search term . However, it seems more likely to me that this image would be wanted because of the location. I don't know anything about the image but I presume it is in a well-known woodland location and/or on a named trail and I would tag, maybe even supertag the location. The other possible use I would want to explore in my keywords would be the unusual use of thatching in a structure like this - maybe someone producing an article on rural trades might line the image as an illustration of the ancient craft.

My German search terms have usually been auto-translated by Alamy so I don't bother with many German words in my German images nowadays.

Although I did have a search on "flaschenuntersetzer" the other day- they were beermats but Herr Automatik had seen "bottle" and "coaster" and put 2 and 2 together and got 5. But usually Alamydeutsch is at least as good as Weltraumkadettdeutsch.

Shouldn't a parasol be movable?

Well if I'm honest, yes, but I'm not sure if a buyer would be searching for this shelter thingy in particular. So I think place name would be more important. However if the structure is intended as a sun shade then parasol might be relevant.
