the cloud forest!
some seeming of alien origin!
The dome itself span 2 floors
teaching the ecology of the gardens
uplighters keeping with the dark theme
it will be a forest in no time!
the plunge pool
the lower floors is home to multimedia areas
complete with a scale model
looking stoned!
looking totally foggy out there now
the dome is cavernous!
looking back up!
digging the neat modern theming
now it starts to look spectacular
The lower broadwalk is the tree top walk
bringing you around the mountain
mind the slippery-ness!
to experience the falls up close
the flower bed walk
back to the mountain
the mist will linger for about 20mins
various animated displays on the garden workings
cycling through various lighting schemes...
The lights run on batteries
the mist is piped from under the walkways
at mid-height
The Supertrees all lit at night
the Bay Sand with their distant lightshow
Giving it a cool-moist atmosphere
looking rather spacey
the themed gardens lit at night
this area is home to many predatory plants
did I mention flowers?
The "mountain" is a concrete structure
the conservatory exterior
this explains the various water features
collected earlier in the day
of the gardens with animated overlays
the the flower bed below
The conservatory is misted hourly
That's all for the conservatories!
it looks just like an alien space station
looking really spacey!
ready for space launch!
The trees also does a light show every evening
not to be missed
the 5 degree show segment
showing the global consequences
overtaking the birdpark record!
