A Deserted Garden

avatar

Good Tuesday, tree lovers!

Today I'm leaving you a shot taken from the living room window of my late grandmother's apartment... in the centre of Porto, Portugal.

This pond, which looks like a Tetris piece, is part of the condominium of the apartments where she lived.

Next to the buildings there's a little garden and the pond is in the middle of it. Everyone pays for this area and is free to use it... but, oddly enough and as far as I remember, I never saw a single person spending time in this place. - Not even cats or dogs roam there. - For years the spot has been pretty much empty 24/7 and the only people who actually spend any time here are the gardeners and cleaning ladies! 🤪

What a strange place...

It is so odd that people don't make use of these spots. I could easily see a barbecue grill being set up there and families having fun and great food on a Sunday afternoon! 😎

I hope you liked this shot.

Lovely view straight over the water with trees standing guard all the way around, would be an ideal place for a Sunday afternoon.

It should be! Someone needs to tell about it to the residents, maybe they don't know about it! 😂

Don't announce the big reveal unless you not planning future enjoyment, overcrowding is not fun !LOLZ

I can't see anywhere obvious to sit, which may go some way to explaining why people don't use the garden much, which is a shame. If it was me, I'd hang around there often, knowing I was unlikely to be disturbed. Just me and the wildlife.

Yeah, you're right about that. There are only a couple of stone benches, definitely not enough.

Nice place, and I saw also a BBQ there, perfect for a summer day.
Have a great day

There's no seating, so it's not used much. I'd relax there with the wildlife

That's a cool spot indeed.
Most people though fail to see the beauty of a common place like this when they see it every day.
