and ducks and lilies...
Time to go inside the vast dome. Steel and
glass, designed by the Norman Foster partnership, it's an impressive green

with representation of the climate and soil of those countries.
Great opportunities for the close up
photographer.

gardens at the height of the site is below. One of the longer panoramas
that I have made.
