Mix of beauty and depressing decay.

First thing I am doing after I am rich is probably build a big greenhouse. I don't get why that isn't more of a thing in the northern hemisphere in winter.

Oh and trivia about this description:

"“Cosmic Greenhouse”, somewhere in Germany, exact location not given."

I was somehow not surprised that just googling this gives the exact location.

Exactly… the location was not given by the named photographer. Doesn’t mean they’re incompetent or evasive, just respectful to the source and the way the information was provided.

There are some examples in germany, among the well todo, to wrap old houses and the garden in one big greenhouse. Basically with automated roof glass doors and shade- its basically one prolonged summer/seasonshift and it safes on heating. Only problem is condensation and moisture
