Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Θ Türkiye-Bir Zamanlar / Once upon a time Türkiye Θ, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Beautiful capture !!

There is still a sailing ship in the lake of the Tivoli park, serving as a restaurant.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Historical Gardens, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

The building in the background (centre) was built in 1893 and is nowadays called The Hans Christian Andersen Castle.

The sailing ship that is there now does not seem to be the original one, as an aerial photo of 1922 does not show a ship at all.

(Thank you for adding this to the Historical Gardens group!)

Crotalaria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae (subfamily Faboideae) commonly known as rattlepods.[1] The genus includes over 700 species of herbaceous plants and shrubs. Africa is the continent with the majority of Crotalaria species (approximately 400 species), which are mainly found in damp grassland, especially in floodplains, depressions, and along edges of swamps and rivers, but also in deciduous bushland, roadsides, and fields. Some species of Crotalaria are grown as ornamentals. The common name rattlepod or rattlebox is derived from the fact that the seeds become loose in the pod as they mature, and rattle when the pod is shaken. The name derives from the Ancient Greek κρόταλον, meaning "castanet", and is the same root as the name for the rattlesnakes (Crotalus). Crotalaria species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Endoclita sericeus, Etiella zinckenella and Utetheisa ornatrix. The toxic alkaloids produced by some members of this genus are known to be incorporated by Utetheisia larvae and used to secure their defense from predators. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crotalaria
