Abstract :
While the faint echoes of the fanfares honouring the winners of our previous photo competition - \´Take your E&T to Unusual Places\´ - can still be heard, we are pleased to announce a new photo challenge for our devoted and tireless readers, this time under the title \´What\´s In Your Shed?\´. Sheds as domestic and garden structures can be traced back to ancient China, where \´pavilions of escape\´ were built under the Zhou dynasty (1222-256 BC), and to no-less-ancient Rome where Pliny the Younger once famously remarked: "When I retire to this garden summer house, I fancy myself a hundred miles away from my villa."
