The asylum-seekers could be seen massed on a clearing made among the cargo containers, partly sheltered by canvas awnings. 3. I didn't - I got big canvas awnings over a Florida room, and I didn't take those down as I've done in pretty past storms, and they're pretty beat up. 4. Sacks of dates and piles of vegetables lay under canvas awnings. 5. The colourful awnings over the shop windows, again, gave protection against the sun. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌀 @cambridge_dic
