Photographer’s Note

This will be my last picture on TE for the next 2 weeks.
I finally go on vacations to Palma de Mallorca and hope to come back with more nice pictures ;-)
This one is an image of a leaf from a plat which I don’t know the name…sorry!
The image was taken in Lisbon’s greenhouse.
The greenhouse is located on the heart of the city, more precisely in Edward VII Park.
It is a real green museum where plants and flowers from the five continents grow harmoniously together under a huge planked roof that beautifully regulates the air temperature and the intensity of light. It was built in 1930 and allows visitors to rest their spirit and purify their senses in front of an enchanted scenery of lakes, fountains and statues.
The area is divided in three different zones: the original greenhouse, the hot greenhouse and the sweet greenhouse. Within the first (also the coolest) you'll find an extraordinary vegetation that benefits from the construction (iron and strips of wood); the hot greenhouse, covered with glass, displays species that need a hotter atmosphere to survive; and the sweet greenhouse is the territory of several species of cactus.
