Taken in the Gibberd Garden, near Harlow, Essex. The Garden is a highly individual creation of Sir Frederick Gibberd, the master planner of Harlow New Town. It is sited on the side of a small valley, which slopes down to a brook. Occupying some 7 acres, the garden was planned as a series of rooms, each with its own character. The glades, pools and alleys provide a setting for some fifty sculptures, large ceramic pots, architectural salvage, this gazebo and even a moated childrenīs castle with a drawbridge.
This shady spot is just behind the main house. The wooden thing certainly has an interesting shape, identification welcomed, or speculation anticipated.

Was Harlow planned and would anyone admit to it. Joking, been there just wont be going back. Like the subtle shades of colour and or course the shapes and textures. And no, no idea of what that object is. Regards
Magical, dappled light and shadows. Those shadows are a picture in their own right.

A very informative pre-narrative Dave, with a great supporting image. The Wooden thing that you were referring to is in fact a Rocker, which were originally designer for agitating warm milk. One slight nudge and the agitation and rocking would take place, allowing the weight and the momentum to carry on until another nudge was required. 
Regards Nathan
Must be a most interesting garden to visit. You've caught a lovely play of light and shadows in this shot - and the nice angle of the 'wooden thing' that Nathan has explained for us.

An interesting image with lots of detail - I like the twisted branches and the shadows, but can't make out what the wooden object is

I'm with Moira on this one, Dave,
John

An oasis of shadows where one can shelter from the midday sun. An unusual choice of building materials for the gazebo, though. Concrete building blocks. Would have thought a wooden structure was mopre in keeping. Whatever that gourd is, it's too big for my mouth...just

Wonderful image, great composition, light and shadow.

I was wondering what the 'wooden thing' was! Nathan's explanation sounds feasible 
A very lovely capture of this delightful corner

Beautiful image, Dave. I love the comp, shapes, light and shadow, texture.... Deep
what a beautiful spot.
you have framed the sculpture very well!
A pleasant and tranquil place where one can escape the rigours of modern life, the light, shadows and sense of calm have been captured perfectly
A lovely coloured autumn capture with good light and shadow on the subject
blending nicely with great texture. Well done. WesternRed.
It's a very interesting image and a good comp with the FG straight shadow leading your eye in. Being constructive, I think the FG right plants are a bit less sharp and there appears to be burn out on the fern highlights. Overall the image is probably brighter than it needs to be and dropping the exposure by a stop would eliminate burnout, darken the shadows (which I think would strngthen the comp) and may add more intrigue!
