ABC Wednesday - E for Eden

The Eden Project is a " global " garden built in a disused quarry near Newquay in Cornwall and has some of the largest greenhouses in the world.

For more information just " google " Eden Project.




This fellow can be found in the gardens - if you look closely you'll see that he's made of scrap metal and bits and pieces of discarded electrical appliances.

If you go to Cornwall you'll enjoy a visit here - allow a full day ..

    The sculpture looks like a humongous insect that wants into Eden. Great shot and a good choice for letter E.
