Actually the biome at welsh botanical gardens.. slightly less apocalyptic. http://www.gardenofwales.org.uk/

Thirty Three Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety.

“Thirty Three Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety Eight by Marion Kalmus is a two storey inverted cone of glassy sheets, which makes it appear that the core of the building is constructed from moving water and light.

Rows of lovely big encyclopedia Brittanica’s… sitting on the shelf, full of information waiting to be absorbed, but now, left alone, unread.
Books of times gone by, now an adornment. Surpassed.
This gallery contains a selection of in progress and finished sets built throughout Doctor Who Series 6 & the Christmas Special, ‘The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe’
Its a shame it didn’t have real candles. Or a less modern chain. Still, one can imagine..
From Cardiff Castle
The underside of a spiral stairwell, triangles intersecting at seemingly bizzare angles.
Once standing tall, quiet and content.
