Description

Stuttgart zoo Wilhelma has a very unique flair, it combines a botanical garden with animals. One highlight are the greenhouses, built in 19th century in moorish style. Still in use, still the dominant element of that garden. Here you see a detail - again out of my very old archive.

Great shot! We don't have many green houses here so it's nice to see a old one...

Could be a part of a Jules Verne-scene. ;) Cannot remember that building - but it's a lot of years ago that I've been there... Well done shot.

The natural gold tone is amazing. Great capture of light, and hence, mood.

Wow, that greenhouse looks absolutely amazing - must be gorgoeus and I really like the idea of combining a garden with the animals. :o) CC

This is very cool. The first thought that came to my mind, was Myst Exile. I never knew that a place like that really existed. Well done and thank you:)
