the Particle Garden

Passing by the old and overgrown “particle garden”, a.k.a. the “Microcosm”, a kind of memorial / resting place for several “ancestral machines” developed at CERN in the 1960s and 1970s, such Gargamelle (top left, an old friend!), and the BEBC (Big European Bubble Chamber), which is a bit like an Apollo-era spaceship… Also, a rare sighting of the CERN sheep, which keep the grass low in the ex-experimental zones where people don’t want to go (and yes they kind of glow).
