Parque das Nações
In 1998 Lisbon hosted the last World Exposition of the century, EXPO’98. It covered a total of 72,500 m2 where it received the 160 participants (146 countries and 14 international organizations). Their flags are still hoisted (on the right). On the left there’s the Pavilhão Atlântico. The Parque das Nações project covers 340 ha, including 5 Km riverside and the Olivais Dock, a 1940’s airport for hydroplanes.

Very nice composition, Carlos, especially on the trees, lamps, and flagpoles. That's almost perfect :)

I can just imagine you standing at the top of the staircase outside the V da G commercial centro. I like this view - and the almost-night effect, excellent - much better than the earlier one a couple of months ago. This is really a great photo. Do you remember I said how difficult it is to shoot the Pav. Atlântico completely? Well, I guess one solution is from the teleférico, which is not the cheap solution!
Hey Carlos, are you over-working? Have you dropped out, like a few others this month? What is it with Dezembro? And me, I've moved into 'causes'!!!! Abraços.
This one is much better enlarged: the moon and the sky are so mysterious.
Lovely blues! I see you haven't posted often lately - but I hope you keep going - I do like your pictures a lot!
Thank you all for your kind words. Sometimes a word is all we need to keep going and this is one of those times. Thank you Jenny, Meg, Stewart and Paul.

I love the color of the sky... Just like a dream... Thank you Carlos... Greetings from Brasil...
