tied to with music.
this is my favorite part of the visit
housing several floors of info-booths
collected earlier in the day
typically found in tropical highland mountains
cycling through various lighting schemes...
That's all for the conservatories!
overtaking the birdpark record!
the "secret" basement garden
this explains the various water features
mind the slippery-ness!
The conservatory is misted hourly
basement overview
the themed gardens lit at night
ready for space launch!
the conservatory exterior
digging the beam mist effect
The Supertrees all lit at night
the plunge pool
South African plants
it looks just like an alien space station
The lights run on batteries
of the gardens with animated overlays
The "mountain" is a concrete structure
at mid-height
showing the global consequences
the mist is piped from under the walkways
the Bay Sand with their distant lightshow
complete with lifts, escalators & toilets
various animated displays on the garden workings
just so totally awesome
to experience the falls up close
continuing on the tour
the 5 degree show segment
Giving it a cool-moist atmosphere
the cloud forest!
it is home to a "sky garden"
now it starts to look spectacular
uplighters keeping with the dark theme
bringing you around the mountain
the mist will linger for about 20mins
looking rather spacey
entrance to the broadwalk!
this area is home to many predatory plants
guides for the mountain tortoises!
looking stoned!
just beside the main flower bed
the tallest man made waterfall
looking back up!
