During the next few days, I will take you on a photo tour of the Biosphere Project.The Biosphere Project is a man-made materially enclosed ecological system located in Oracle, Arizona, which is near Tucson.
I took a tour of the inside of the buildings and was able to take this photo looking outside to the mountains.
This was a very interesting research project that explored closed systems for use in space colonization.
The initial project cost over $200 million.

Interesting perspective through the glass, Julie. I look forward to the next few days.
I remember reading about this some years ago! I thought it the project had been abandoned due to a variety of problems, including financial ones. Guess not. I, too, will look forward to seeing more of what's going on now.
I'm with Jacob. Thought It was abandoned.
I haven't been here in years. Looking forward to the tour.
I have read about the project - and look foreard to see more.
I also remember seeing something about this project on TV some time back. I'm going to be staying tuned to your posts Julie.
Beautiful lovely and fantastic shot !!Unseen Rajasthan
The perfect perspective :)
Do they have a jungle in the biosphere? Looking through the glass prisms into the desert must make a knot in everyone's brain... :)
Interesting photo...I really like your blog title photo.
Wonderful pic of the mountains through the glass. The whole series is very cool, and you photographed really nice vignettes.
