Fall melody of melancholy

This abandoned greenhouse takes on a particularly melancholy appearance in autumn, when the neighboring trees shed their leaves all around. It has gradually begun to lose any traces of human presence and is increasingly being overtaken by wild plants. However, some of the plants abandoned by humans have also survived. All this creates a stunning local ecosystem.
