Remarkable architecture! From this view, it looks much like a spider-web–ironical, isn’t it? What are the pyramid shaped hanging objects? Much more impressive than the few butterfly houses I’ve seen. Wonderful photo!

Surreal… and also reminds me of Jurassic Park.
I do love this photo, though I can’t pinpoint why I do. I think it may be the dome structure, it is probably the best example of leading lines ever. That palm on the left is great too… its perfect in fact. All very well balanced and colorful. Nice job

The hanging objects are butterfly hives…The various shapes(dome and cones) in the pic give a completely different feel!!!man’s efforts to conserve nature…

There is something about this shot that draws you in, clever. I also wonder what those brown shapes are for.

Great shot especially with this angle. I like the color and the framing of the plants and grass. Great shot

Wow! This structure can be seen as a dome or as its opposite, an optical illusion, leading down instead of up.

Nice shot and thanks for sharing.

Wonderful! Thank you for giving us a sight that most of us will probably never see in reality.
Seeing pictures like this is one of the marvels of Earth Shots.

Nice shot, but what are those things hanging from the ceiling?

Are the things hanging from the ceiling butterfly cocoons?
