tied to with music.
collected earlier in the day
this is my favorite part of the visit
housing several floors of info-booths
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 conservatory is misted hourly
basement overview
South African plants
the plunge pool
this explains the various water features
the themed gardens lit at night
The "mountain" is a concrete structure
complete with lifts, escalators & toilets
the conservatory exterior
ready for space launch!
continuing on the tour
at mid-height
it is home to a "sky garden"
uplighters keeping with the dark theme
the cloud forest!
The Supertrees all lit at night
digging the beam mist effect
the Bay Sand with their distant lightshow
various animated displays on the garden workings
the mist is piped from under the walkways
The lights run on batteries
the tour starts at the top
entrance to the broadwalk!
guides for the mountain tortoises!
it looks just like an alien space station
to experience the falls up close
of the gardens with animated overlays
just beside the main flower bed
showing the global consequences
indoor cafe
the tallest man made waterfall
now it starts to look spectacular
Giving it a cool-moist atmosphere
bringing you around the mountain
the 5 degree show segment
just so totally awesome
spanning several levels
The event rooms
looking rather spacey
looking stoned!
