Uppsala Botanical Garden III Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a third photo of the Uppsala Botanical Garden. There are approximately 1,300 species grown and this garden is one of two botanical gardens in Uppsala, the Linneus Garden that is the oldest botanical garden in Sweden, and the Botantical garden. 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 birth of Linneus one hundred years earlier. The oragenery is still used for its original purpose. Part of the garden is a baroque garden. There is also a tropical greenhouse here.

Bonjour Ulf,

ce n'est pas le meilleur rendu des lumières de l'endroit mais je devine qu'elles n'étaient pas facile a capturer surtout en contre jour. Un éventail bien dispercé des variétés de plantes de la flore de ce jardin.
amicalement, Daniel

Dag Ulf,

A lovely idyllic picture of the sun-drenched botanic garden of Uppsala.
I can almost imagine that Linneus is walking here and that he tells you something about the miracles of nature.

Hej Ulf,
A good composition with many different green elements. The pond, and the reflections in it, is also a fine element here!
