In the woods

Numa tarde nada solarenga e fotogénica, decidi ir até Monsanto à procura do antigo restaurante panorâmico, um edifício que, segundo dizem, tem a melhor vista de Lisboa, mas, infelizmente, isso não o salvou do completo abandono. Depois de muitas voltas e inversões de marcha, lá o encontrei e tirei estas fotografias. Queria ter tido a coragem de entrar, mas depois de ter visto um grupo de jovens a ser expulso do local, achei melhor não arriscar a minha sorte. Talvez noutro dia.
On a not so sunny and photogenic afternoon, I decided to go to Monsanto (a very big park in Lisbon) and look for an old panoramic restaurant that's been said to have the best view over Lisbon, but, unfortunately, that didn't save it from being completely abandoned. After many turns and U-turns, I finally found it and took these photos. I wish I had the guts to go in, but after seeing a group of boys being kicked out from the site, I though I shouldn't play with my luck. Maybe another day.
loving the through the trees photographs so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) It kinda makes me think of a collage or something like that.
DeleteSad that it is abandoned. It looks like such a great place! Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteReally sad. It closed doors because it wasn't that functional as a restaurant and it's been decaying over the years, but I truly believe nowadays someone with money could restore it and make something beautiful.
DeleteI really hope you get to go in one day!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I've seen photos of the inside and the view is incredible!
DeleteNunca fui a Monsanto :/
ReplyDeleteo restaurante é lindo por fora e por dentro deve ser maravilhoso, mesmo em ruinas e a vista... ai.

abandon places are so melancholy! i wonder how that restaurant must be in its glorious days!
