Another one in my on going Mother Road series. Taken somewhere near Grants, New Mexico along Route 66. Quite difficult to edit with one bad eye, so used the same texture/fill colour formula as some of the others of this series.
Biosphere 2 by njordphoto

The futuristic Biosphere 2 complex in Oracle, Arizona, was the home to 1990’s experiments to see if mankind could recreate a living biosphere within a closed system. The experiments failed, but it was discovered that the science was badly flawed. Regardless, much was learned from the exercise, both about sustainability and about human nature. The facility is now used for small experiments by the University of Arizona. Within the large greenhouse space on the left of this image you can see the interior rainforest… yes, that’s a rainforest in the Arizona desert! The part that looks like a moonbase in the center is the “crew” quarters, and to the right you can see on the domed “lungs” which house a massive rubber membrane that flexes to make up for differences in atmospheric pressure between the sealed facility and the outside world (note: Biosphere 2 is no longer sealed, however the greenhouses behind the crew quarters are about to be re-sealed for a contained experiment). (HDR: 3 exposure, photomatix, Canon 5D)
