collected earlier in the day
and process repeated
housing several floors of info-booths
this is my favorite part of the visit
typically found in tropical highland mountains
cycling through various lighting schemes...
overtaking the birdpark record!
the "secret" basement garden
mind the slippery-ness!
That's all for the conservatories!
South African plants
the plunge pool
basement overview
complete with lifts, escalators & toilets
The "mountain" is a concrete structure
The conservatory is misted hourly
continuing on the tour
it is home to a "sky garden"
this explains the various water features
the themed gardens lit at night
the cloud forest!
the conservatory exterior
guides for the mountain tortoises!
uplighters keeping with the dark theme
the tour starts at the top
the Bay Sand with their distant lightshow
at mid-height
ready for space launch!
entrance to the broadwalk!
The Supertrees all lit at night
just beside the main flower bed
the tallest man made waterfall
digging the beam mist effect
the mist is piped from under the walkways
indoor cafe
The lights run on batteries
various animated displays on the garden workings
it looks just like an alien space station
of the gardens with animated overlays
to experience the falls up close
spanning several levels
The event rooms
now it starts to look spectacular
it sort or sparkles in view
showing the global consequences
giftshop!
info screens dotting the exit
Giving it a cool-moist atmosphere
the 5 degree show segment
the place is best visited at night
