Biosphere 2

Just like an episode from Discovery Channel. Steve and I spent most of today at Biosphere 2. For those of you that do not remember Biosphere 2 is where 4 women and 4 men lock themselves in a three-acre green house in the Arizona desert for two years, completely cut off from the outside world. Nothing in or out - no food, no water, not even air. They produced everything they needed to survive from their miniature rain forest, Savannah, desert, marsh, ocean and farm. Read more about the adventure in The Human Experiment: Two Years and Twenty Minutes Inside Biosphere 2, by Jane Poynter






A view of their miniature ocean and beach.










The desert.

















The rain forest...Steve and I thought it would be wonderful to have our picture taken in the rain forest...never dreaming that you would not be able to see us.

Hi,
I am just now getting to sit down and check The Dream. I was fortune enough to get to see this place right after it was built. We spent the day and it was beautiful then too. I got to talk to some of the people who were going to spend the 2 years inside. I am glad you got to see it.

Oh, wow! Two years with the same eight people? I hope they get along. And they've done a beautiful job with the landscaping.
