Had a very pleasant trip to Eau Brink yesterday with NickT and here's a few pics, the place is colossal, I'd either have to use a very wide angled lens or stand a long way away to get the glasshouse in shot:

Hello Vic

That are really nice photos and very impressive plants.
But I hope that you don't mind me asking. Where is Eau Brink?:stup:
