Strange..very strange

This is one of the strangest spots I´ve encounterd in this city. It might still be strange for me because it intrigued me as a child. I used to pass by this house and saw it always habitated by plants, without human soul on the inside. I thought it might be haunted or somthing strange had happened that this house had been taken over by plants. When I took this picture I realized that it´s just a top-class greenhouse. (Let´s just say I´m still intrigued by it, even though I know what it is. My inner child tells me so.) Posted by Picasa

Hi Cynthia,

Is it a greenhouse because it's green on the outside or because temperature and humidity conditions on the inside are righ for growing plants?

Beautiful cuddly house. Reminds me, in a sense, of some of Austrian artist/architect Hundertwasser's proposed houses with metre-high interstoreys to allow for space for filling in with earth and planting trees to grow out of the sides. (Sorry about the stodgy sentence.)

I agree with you. As an architect, I haven't seen anything like it before.

That's pretty cool! I would have thought it was a fancy house!

It is very enchanting. What street was it on? Did you end up dancing at the tango fest?

Hi all! Bob: it´s a green house because the "climate" on the inside is right for growing tropical plants, sometimes in the winter the glasses get fogged because it´s so warm in there.
Tango: It´s on Heredia St. in Belgrano. I went to the Festival and got my lesson: I stepped on a couple of feet but it was very fun. I got somewhat depressed because everyone danced so well, but I guess I´ll learn it someday.
bob, simon, localb, mohammadreza, wolf, tango, anna: thank you very much for your comments. (anna: merci beaucoup!)

You will tango one day! It was only your first lesson, Confiteria Ideal in the afternoon is a nice place to learn as they have a daytime milonga to practice as well as lessons. and lots of patient people to practice with too!
