Sunday morning we woke up early to get to the Eden Project just as it opened. This was definitely a highlight of my trip so far. It was extremely inspiring.

A decade ago this was a polluted desolate former mine. It's been transformed from a scar on the landscape to celebration of life on earth. There are 3 "biomes"; one outside, and two covered by greenhouse domes. The dome on the left is a simulated rain forest tropical environment, and the dome on the right is a Mediterranean climate.

James brought his fancy SLR.

This sculpture (made of waste) represents the amount of E-waste the average brit throws out in their lifetime.

The core is the educational center which had some really well done exhibits.

And a cool rain spout off of the recycled copper roof.

Living machine; an experiment to grow plants without soil by perfectly balancing nutrients.
