Designers and architects are attracted to the cantilever - definition:  a beam or plate constructed and fixed at one end but floating at the other.

Welcomed with a glass of wine which I sipped slowly shuffling around the garden with camera and tripod at hand taking many photo's, I've selected the best to show.
