What a fabulous place! All those futuristic geodesic domes in a valley. All those incredible tropical plants in those domes.
Here’s a few photos I took – I tried to capture the patterns of the leaves.
Photography – The Eden Project in Cornwall – patterns of leaves.

That is terrific. Thank you very much.
You’re welcome! You definitely disserve it I really enjoy your blog 🙂
That’s good of you to say.
I was half expecting Peter Gabriel to be found hiding in the shrubbery!
I think he was! It was the genesis of a new species!
Spent 3 years in Cornwall – but that was back in the 90s – when and where did they put it up ?
I think it was a New Millennium project and opened in 2003. We went to see it about 2 weeks after it opened as we just happened to be in Devon at the time.
Tanx.
Near enough.
It opened to the public in 2000. They started building it in 1998, Matt.
Oops, my mistake, I meant to say 2001 (not 2003, which was the second time I visited Eden). I’m sure it opened to the public in `01 as my girlfriend’s father had organised the tickets which were seemingly very hard to come by in it’s early days. It was April (about 2 weeks after it opened) as that was always my holiday month from my work abroad.
That was a very interesting photo study. I love leaves. And the geo domes remind me so much of the movie “Logan’s Run!” 😀
I’ve always been impressed with the patterns of leaves and nature and tried to capture it photographically. And those domes were very futuristic. I was immediately taken with them.
