Closed Maze of Shadows

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A play of shadows round a side entrance to the Enchanted Maze, Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula.
(This photo was taken before the main entrance opened to the public, but I expect this less grand entrance is more for deliveries! There is a cafe and souvenir shop here at the maze.)
