white bridge





The promenade, cable cars, a partial view of Lisbon's Nation's Park, where the Expo '98 World Exhibition took place. In the background: the Vasco da Gama bridge (1998), the longest bridge in Europe ( 17.2 km /10.7 miles). The "watery part" is the Tagus River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean in Lisbon.


Below find another partial view of the park with little water but a  pretty reflection....

    Great shots. Liked much the second frame, with all its neat reflection scene and architectural background.

    So much going on in the first shot and so many lines.
    Amazing.
    I love that they all go alongside each other and connect in the far.

    And the second shot is especially cool with the flags and their reflections!
