Lisboa - The Monument of Discoveries. Along the Tage, it returns homage to navigators. In the Middle Age, one thought that the sea finished on darkness and chaos. But in Portugal this maritime horizon was a call to the discovery. Turning back to the Europe that only worried of herself, Portugal wanted to conquer the unknown countries. It's all the pride of this country, today again.

Great angle and exquisite detail, Pierre. 10/10 again. =)

Thanks for the link -- I spent quite a bit of time looking through every page, and I still prefer your shot of this monument.

A great piece of history Pierre. They would have been careful discovering the edge of the oceans. Can't begin to imagine the excitement of discovery then. A nice photo with good light Pierre:-)

Nice image Pierre. I would prefer it without the title along the bottom though.

Yes, but to retrieve the 4:3 ratio, I should cut at left or at right... A pity!
Thanks Sam
