Pinch punch first of the month! The last day of my hand series has had to be postponed a day while I get my first-of-the-month theme day picture in. It's open to all City Daily Photo participants and this month the theme is glass.Click here to view thumbnails for all participants
You are looking at a section of the geodesic Tropical Dome at the Mt. Coot-tha Botanical Gardens. Strictly, it's not glass it's acrylic... but it looks like glass so I reckon that counts. Inside, the temperature and atmosphere are strictly controlled and it supports all sorts of exotic plant life including giant water-lillies.

It sounds fascinating. I'd love to visit.
Great geometric capture!
Botanical gardens are wonderful places to relax and enjoy. Acrylic? Doesn't matter; it looks like glass!!
Very cool! In Arizona there is a huge one like this called BioSphere that people were chosen to live in for years as an experiment, totally self contained.
Here's my Theme Day post:

The enlargement shows the framing of the dome in all the different panels of glass. A really cool photo.
Sounds fabulous and great design.
Interesting pattern to cut out by the framing. I like the texture of the image on your large (enlarged) version that show up when I click the image. It resembles old film process. The small one is also good and looks so sharp in every count.
Great geometrics, good shot.
Love the shapes - quite three dimensional.
I recognised it instantly. I used to live up the hill from the Mount Cootha gardens. Nice capture of a structure I have always liked.
great angles and perspective of glass for theme day a very interesting photo that could easily be framed on a wall
Fantastic shot! I don't care if it is acrylic! :-)
