collected earlier in the day
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!

the plunge pool
The conservatory is misted hourly
complete with lifts, escalators & toilets
The "mountain" is a concrete structure

continuing on the tour
the themed gardens lit at night
the conservatory exterior
it is home to a "sky garden"
uplighters keeping with the dark theme
the cloud forest!
ready for space launch!
at mid-height
guides for the mountain tortoises!
the Bay Sand with their distant lightshow
The Supertrees all lit at night
the tour starts at the top
digging the beam mist effect
various animated displays on the garden workings
just beside the main flower bed
the mist is piped from under the walkways
entrance to the broadwalk!
The lights run on batteries
of the gardens with animated overlays
the tallest man made waterfall
indoor cafe
it looks just like an alien space station
to experience the falls up close
showing the global consequences
now it starts to look spectacular
spanning several levels
it sort or sparkles in view
the 5 degree show segment
Giving it a cool-moist atmosphere
The event rooms
info screens dotting the exit
bringing you around the mountain
