Uppsala Botanical Garden Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Uppsala University Botanical Garden, what is today called the the Linneus Garden is the oldest botanical garden in Sweden. However, there a two botanical gardens in Uppsala. In this picture the newer of the two is seen. In the 18th century the Linneus Garden needed more space and therefore,Peter Thunberg, successor of Carl Linneus, persuaded King Gustaf III to donate the Uppsala castle garden to be used as a new botanical garden. The king donated money to an orangery building, the Linneanum. It was inaugurated in 1807, in memory of the brith of Linneus. The organery is still used for its original purpose.

Bonjour Ulf,
la qualité des lumières et des couleurs me séduit, un avant pan très net et une profondeur de champ élargie, bien utile ici pour tous les détails à tous les plans.
Regards.

Hello Ulf,
the building is nice but not really breathtaking. The real value of the photo for me is the arrangement of hte colours starting with dark green zone down, deep blue on the upper part and the complementer yellow in the middle, for the sake of maximal effect a shining yellow against the deep blue background. As a whole a really attractive picture.
Best whishes

Hello Ulf,
nice picture of this lovely building in green surrounding. You have captured the it in a wonderful light with good sharpness and clarity. The color contrast between the vivid yellow of the building and the green in the foreground is really great and I also like the blue sky in the background. Well done.

Hello Ulf,

Impressive framing by the old tree!
The classical architecture stands out well in the greenery, and the fine light makes the colours blossom...
A fine composition where the blue sky is the final touch!
