Science Pyramid, Denver, CO

The Science Pyramid is located in the Denver Botanic Gardens, and according to its architect:

“Biomimicry was the dominant theme guiding the development and formation of the Science Pyramid's design concept. Like a form emerging from the earth, the building portrays a dynamic, spiraling movement that symbolizes how tectonic plates push upward to create something brand new -- in this case, giving way to a building that holds new life and knowledge at the Gardens.”

*****

We visited the “Season’s Greenings: America’s Gardens!” exhibit at the United States Botanic Garden, featuring plant-based recreations of conservatories, fountains and sculptures from around the country, with model trains running around and above the displays. It's become an annual event for us, and we always enjoy the holiday creations as well as the traditional DC landmarks display (most of which I didn't photograph again this year) as well as the 3,000-plus varieties of pointsettias gracing the various halls.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
