The Sydney Fernery in the Royal Botanic Gardens was opened in 1993, on the site of earlier ferneries. The fernery provides a moist environment for various species of ferns by filtering light and protecting from extremes of frost and heat. A glimpse of nearby office buildings can be seen through the grills of the arched roof.
Love this place! Thank J.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteA fernery! I would love this section of the gardens.
ReplyDeleteI would like to live in this oxygen heaven.
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful fernery, Jim, but oh so clammy. I am always in a hurry to get to the outside air once more.
ReplyDeleteLindo lugar! Um ambiente próprio para essas plantas!
ReplyDeleteSo green! Super pretty as well.
ReplyDeleteVisiting Sydney sounds like fun...
Beautiful lighting effects on a fascinating place!
ReplyDeleteThat is one amazing building, and no doubt about it. That blue sky is amazing.

A beautiful image. In Rio de Janeiro we have a spectacular Botanical Garden and, soon, I intend to put pictures of it here.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Roberto
I would love to see the fernery. The look of it makes me think of science fiction illustrations of glassed-in colonies on distant planets or on the moon.
ReplyDeleteGreat -- beautiful picture -- I always love the way greenhouses smell.

Shadows everywhere in your photo!
ReplyDeleteSHADOW PLAY
Shadows like horses, shadow likes chicks,
Shadows like houses built with red bricks;
Shadows much taller than a high wall—
No matter their shape, I love them all!

ReplyDeleteLate visiting for shadow shot, please visit my entry when you get a chance. Have a good week ahead!
It always feels so steamy in there. I love the ferns but am glad to get outside most of the time.
