Apologies for the dearth of posts this month—I’ve been concentrating on other tasks and it slipped my mind!
One can almost feel the humidity, a sticky heat surrounding these tropical broad-leaf trees—but the warmth was a relief. The structures amongst them are a giveaway: this is the Wintergardens in Sunderland, a cold, northern city, in the grey November of 2011. I was my fourth UK trip when I wandered through the Museum and its associated hothouse, before taking a stroll in Mowbray Park behind them. The lighting conditions were grey and flat, and this image is enhanced to bring up colour and contrast in Irfanview. It was an interesting aside from the grey streets, and the only other tropical house I’ve been in besides that Victorian classic in the Adelaide Botanical Gardens. Fuji FinePix S5600. Image by Mike.
