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

  2. 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!

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

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