Eden Project: Outdoor Biome

I first had the opportunity to visit the Eden Project several years ago with a work holiday.
This year I decided it was time to revisit on my own, and spent a good day touring the three
Biomes with my camera in hand. Well worthwhile!!!

Just outside the entrance hall is this splendid horse sculpure.

Through the ticket hall, and out into the ex-china clay pit, with all spreadout below

Firstly a wander through the "Wild Cornwall Zone"

This stone dome reminded me very much of the beehive stone hut

structures which were once home to Celtic monks on the Skellig Islands off Co. Kerry

and (perhaps) to some Cornish saint-hermits as well....

(I am unsure if this was the intended connection....the stone hut and space-age green houses below make an interesting contrast though!!!)

Its a huge bee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Danger industrial Plant" haha!

A giant indian tends his maize crops....

the WEE Man sculpture made with discarded domestic

appliances
In the spiral garden, sheltering from the onset of rain..
Rain. Good for plants especially in the bog-garden
