The award winning Eden Project in Cornwall, attracting a million plus visitors each year to its biomes indicative of sweltering rainforests of Malaysia and South America to the temperate regions of the Mediterranean (www.edenproject.com) .
In earlier times, Cornwall, in SW UK was very much a mining region. The Cornish pasties, pastry with a hearty meat filling were designed for the miners to take below for their lunches.
This site was an abandoned open pit that was developed into these biodomes. The project has been hugely successful and has done a lot to revive the economy of Cornwall.
Cornwall is one of my favourite places in the UK.
This shot is of the entrance to the biodomes in early spring. Lots of sun of those domes and I didn’t have a filter.
