    Lovely pavilion -- we like to visit botanical gardens. Get to admire other people's work and take pictures (my kind of gardening nowdays).

    This shelter is beautiful! I like shape, it has the look of a turret on a castle, the roof now looking even older, and thus more classic, feeling as if was designed centuries ago. A stunner!

    Beautiful design. It looks like a good spot to rest if the grass is too damp.

    It is indeed a lovely pavilion! And a wonderful place to take photos and enjoy the gardens! I know I'd love to spend some time there! Hope you have a great week, Jim!

    Really solid but pretty structure and it must be just the right cool place to go, after some time in the hot Australian sun.

    Such a lovely pavilion! Perhaps bands were played in it on summer days?

    and very handy it is too Jim, the last time Aimee and I were in Sydney visiting the Botanical Gardens, it pelted down, there were about 20 of us like sardines in that Vista Pavilion, great fun.

    lotusleaf, I have actually seen a small wedding service being performed just outside the pavilion with drinks and snacks set up for guests inside.
