Went to see Stereo phonics @Eden Sessions in cornwall
walking back through the zig zag path back to the apple car park I stopped to capture the Biomes in the twilight.
A biome is a formation of plants and animals that have common characteristics due to similar climates and can be found over a range of continents. [read more...]

This is Peter's Rock Agama Lizard. Besides it's long name, this 12 inch lizard is another example of the turmoil in Florida's biomes. It is an exotic invasive species from sub-Saharan Africa, released into southern areas of Florida, allegedly by an unidentified dealer of exotic animals in the 1970s.
Paul (D200-Paul) and I watched this handsome lizard scurry about at Castellow Hammock Preserve, a small (120 acre) park near Homestead, Florida.

The Chaparral Biome is a woodland/grasslands environment found on the California coast. Oaks are the most common trees found in this ecosystem. Golden grasses are also typical of the area during this time of year. They are both a source of beauty and a danger for wildfire. The golden grasses are a defining characteristic of the California landscape and are beloved by the native Californians.
Happy Fence Friday everyone.

Nature's version of wrong side of the tracks...shade side or sun side what side are you repping?
Put about twenty minutes of thought into intercepting on this Shops bound stack train from Seattle, Washington, was able to see this spot from the 99 since trees in the open parts of the valley stand out big time. Anyways....with no opposing traffic other than the northbound ZLCTM much further south on the Fresno Subdivision, Union Pacific 8119 blasts by the Athlone Road crossing with the tree line along Deadman Creek providing a pretty cool looking back drop.
This train and a few others have a companion video follow the links down the rabbit hole here: youtu.be/XgRLw3QCr-c

Remember when colder countries were badly developing Biomes ? Now the UK is heading for global warming so they will all be a waste of time

Red-tailed Hawk
The Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) is a bird of prey, one of three species colloquially known in the United States as the "Chickenhawk," though it rarely preys on standard sized chickens. It breeds throughout most of North America, from western Alaska and northern Canada to as far south as Panama and the West Indies, and is one of the most common Buteos in North America. Red-tailed Hawks can acclimate to all the biomes within their range. There are fourteen recognized subspecies, which vary in appearance and range. It is one of the largest members of the genus Buteo in North America, typically weighing from 1.5 to 3.5 pounds, and measuring 18–26 inches in length, with a wingspan from 43–57 inches. The Red-tailed Hawk displays sexual dimorphism in size, with females averaging about 25% heavier than males. The bird is sometimes referred to as the red-tail for short, when the meaning is clear in context.

Biome Gateway by Timur Si-Qin
b. 1984, Germany
Lives and works in New York City, USA
Timur Si-Qin’s work takes form through diverse media and creates a new kind of environmental art. It challenges common notions of organic vs synthetic, natural vs cultural, human vs nonhuman, and other dualities at the heart of Western consciousness.
Si-Qin’s work in the exhibition presents a temple cave that connects the biotopes and organisms of the botanical gardens to a parallel landscape. Through a portal within the temple, the viewer is invited to enter a virtual sacred locus of contemplation.
The work is part of Si-Qin’s long-term meta-project New Peace – a proposal introducing a new secular faith in the face of climate change, global pandemics, and biodiversity collapse. Drawing on the concept of religions as an adaptive system of meaning for collective action, New Peace recognizes the central spiritual value of nature, and states that only through this type of deep cultural shift, the impacts of climate change may be mitigated.
Timur Si-Qin is a New York-based artist of German and Mongolian-Chinese descent who grew up in Berlin, Beijing, and in the American Southwest. Recent exhibitions include Von Ammon Co., Washington D.C.; Riga International Biennial of Contemporary Art 2; the 2019 Asian Art Biennale, Bangladesh; the 5th Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art; UCCA, Beidaihe; Spazio Maiocchi, Milan; The High Line, New York; and Magician Space, Beijing.

up close to the Eden Project in Cornwall.
The Eden Project is a collection of plants from around the world, inside large domes that have been build in a dis-used clay pit.
The complex is dominated by two huge domed enclosures consisting of hundreds of hexagonal inflated plastic cells supported by steel frames. One dome emulates a tropical environment, the other a Mediterranean environment. Outside are gardens growing flowers, vegetables, even tea, hemp, and hops

The Eden Project (Cornish: Edenva) is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England, UK. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed china clay pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) inflated cells supported by Geodesic tubular steel domes. The largest of the two biomes simulates a rainforest environment (and is the largest indoor rainforest in the world) and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
Normally I visit the Eden Project during dull weather, as that is better for the macro-type photos I usually take there. On this occasion though I wanted to see the Astronomy Photographer of the Year exhibit being hosted until 3rd September. I was amazed how blue the biomes appeared, reflecting the blue sky. Normally they are white when I visit, reflecting the cloud :-).

Those red bracts on the right are Kangaroos Paw...a friend has these as a houseplant...but certainly not at six feet tall!
Eden Project domes. The strange futuristic architecture of the domes. Each one houses a different biome. The larger set at the back has a tropical biome with a jungle inside and the smaller one has a Mediterranean biome.
The entire complex is built within an old quarry near St Austell and has a very futuristic feeling to it!

For those who are interested, here's how I did the planting for my SHIP biomes.
1. Cutting surgical gauze to shape, then it's clipped into each dish using a 1x1 round.
2. Moisten the gauze, plant the seeds - a selection of herbs.
3. Recording the seed combinations for future reference - to see which ones grow best.
4. About a week in, the seedlings begin to germinate.
5. About 18 days in, looking good, testing the dishes in the spheres.
6. Dishes and plants in place, prior to attachment to the SHIP.
