At first glance you might think that you are looking at something out of "The Quatermass Experiment," but in fact these are the Biomes at the Eden Project taken late at night after my wife and myself had been to the Last Night of the Proms Concert which was linked up to the Royal Albert Hall in London.

No need to explain this well known feature - one of the sunflowers was even featured on a Royal Mail stamp issued on 1st August 2000.

The wonderful thing about Eden are the trees. Hundreds and hundreds of mature specimens carefully planted. This is a (very) mature olive, with fruit on it, in the temperate biome.

A visit here should be on your "To do" list, if you have not been there yet!

Looking down on the domes from the Visitors Reception Area. This picture was taken in the 'early' days not long after it first opened during a visit to mark the presentation of a RICS Building Award. Later shots may show additional 'tents' and facilities as the site has developed further.

The children were able to rock this huge structure back & forth - more entertaining to them than the plants!

The Eden Project turned this flooded abandoned clay pit into an ecological educational extravaganza! Thousands of plant species are maintained in the futuristic "biomes" and on the terraced edges of the pit.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The leat is still functioning and runs for miles; in tunnel in places. It served a watermill at Charlestown and fed two ponds which provided water for the harbour. Who maintains it today? If anyone knows more on its history, I would be pleased to hear

Dist:0.2km<br/>During the week after Easter 2010 an orienteering event was staged at the Eden Project. Competitors started in one of the car parks and the courses took them down into the heart of the Eden Project and through the iconic biomes.
