Parque das Nações

This bridge fascinates me and I was there at different times to take photos. So I have played around a bit with the images and then decided to post something completely different from my usual work. The Vasco Da Gama bridge in Lisbon is Europe's longest bridge at almost 12.5 kms. It was inaugurated in 1998 conmemorating the Portugese explorer's discovery of the naval passage to India.

The iconic Portugese bridge at low tide just after Sunset. According to Wikipedia it is the longest bridge in Europe of 12,345 kms. It was inaugurated in 1998, 500 years after the Portugese discoverer Vasca da Gama found the sea route to India.

A very inspiring bridge and the highlight of my first trip to Portugal. This is the 4th and final image I'll be posting until I might go there again.

The Parque das Nações is a leftover from the Lisbon World Expo in 1998. After the Expo the area was transformed into a modern part of Lisbon with new apartments, a shopping center, a train station etc and lost of modern architecture including the neighbouring Vasco da Gama bridge. There is a cable car which runs for a section along the riverfront, and that is what you see here at dusk with a full moon.

Another version of the magnificent Vasco da Gama bridge, this time with starry lights.
