Discoveries, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

Built on the bank of River Tagus in 1960 to honor the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry the Navigator. Designed in the shape of a caravel, on which Henry the Navigator, Vasco da Gama, Pedro Álvares Cabral - discoverer of Brazil - Fernão Magalhães - who crossed the Pacific in 1520 -, the writer Camões and many relevant heroes of Portuguese history are shown, the monument offers a fabulous view from the top. It also owns a multimedia itinerary through the history of Lisbon, as well as hosts temporary exhibitions and concerts.

Hi Albrecht,

Excellent shot of the monument. The sharpness and details are fantastic. It really stands out against the clear blue sky. TFS!

Cheers,

Ulf

This is the less seen side of the monument but it is as impressive and beautiful as the opposite side. The colours are good and everything is very sharp in your picture. Well done.
