The ship reminds me of the paper boats I made when I was a kid. Nice pics. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThat science museum looks interesting. The one after the globe is probably a representation of the moon.
ReplyDeleteI guess the Water Garden and other structures are spectacular at night! :-)
ReplyDeleteFrom all the photos that you've posted, I was definitely smitten by the Water Garden/s and the Marvel Heroes wall -- superb! :)
ReplyDeleteI never imagined Portugal to be a center of modern art! Wanna go there, Oporto in particular.
ReplyDeleteVasco da Gama is everywhere!!! Magellan was Portuguese too but fell out of favor with their King so he went to Spain. And Marvel heroes!!! wow...maybe Stan Lee is Portuguese? Did you go to Fatima?

ReplyDeleteHello Eigroj.
ReplyDeleteI wish travel around the world wasn't so expensive, then perhaps we might all get a chance to see such wonders. These are amazing. I especially like the water gardens. Thanks for sharing.
