I noticed these skeletal greenhouses stretching across a wasteland on the way to a restaurant for dinner, a couple of days later I insisted that we went back to explore. I’d never before seen a sprawl of derelict nurseries and these looked rather intriguing with the bright Mallorcan sun bouncing off every surface – highlighting the emptiness within the structure’s shell. The relation between nature and man was here extremely evident with vines creeping through the cracks in the glass and flowers which would have been in pots now finding their roots in stationary grounds. Weirdly though there seemed to be one minute section of the greenhouse still in use – with one room which was pitch black inside and very hot – they seemed to be cultivating little seedlings as shown in the photo below. Maybe this place used to be a garden center that got shut down so now the owners just use it for their own desires – or maybe this place was between owners and the current landlords just hadn’t got round to sorting out the land. Either way it definitely made an interesting explore and an even better subject for photos of nature as it becomes lost in the rubble.
