Below is the aerial view of the magnificent deadwood amphitheatre in Kew Gardens, London, England.

Simon who designed and built this amphitheatre writes:
"We need to be promoting deadwood as a landscape material that should be part of the ecological fabric of parks and gardens and as an abundant resource that can be used aesthetically in new garden and landscape design."

The sculptor Paul Sivell made the stag beetles. The female, on the left, is a recent addition.

You may even take a virtual tour of an earlier stage of this loggery. Or try a close up of the 2 metre long male stag beetle sculpture.
