Photographer's Note
Hi dear TE friends
Another picture from the Park of Nations.
Here you can see the link between the Park and the Oceanarium building on left side.
The Oceanarium in Lisbon, Portugal is an oceanarium dedicated to the ocean. It is located in the Parque das Nações, which was the exhibition grounds for the Expo 98.
The building is the work of the architectural firm Cambridge Seven Associates under the direction of Peter Chermayeff, resembling an Aircraft carrier, and is built in the pier of an internal sea. It is one of the largest aquariums in the world, and has a large collection of marine species — birds, mammals, fishes, cnidaria and other marine organisms.
The exhibition is arranged around four smaller aquaria, displaying the fauna and flora of the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Indian Ocean and of the Antarctic and a large central tank to exhibit species of the open ocean, from sharks and large groupers to tuna fish and small wrasses. Despite its intention of representing the open ocean, it has been criticised by several scientists for grouping together species that would never meet in nature.
The exhibition aquaria can be viewed from several levels to see underwater and coastal habitats.
Visiting this place is really spectacular.

O Oceanário de Lisboa é um museu de biologia marinha situado no Parque das Nações em Lisboa, Portugal, construído no âmbito da Expo 98.
Este pavilhão, da autoria do arquitecto norte-americano Peter Chermayeff, lembra um porta-aviões e está instalado num cais rodeado de água. É o segundo maior oceanário do mundo (2004) e contém uma impressionante colecção de espécies — aves, mamíferos, peixes e outros habitantes marinhos.
Os habitats escolhidos, pela sua riqueza natural em termos de fauna e flora, foram os seguintes: oceano Antárctico, recife de coral do oceano Índico, costas rochosas do oceano Pacífico e costa dos Açores, no oceano Atlântico.
A principal atracção, para a maior parte dos visitantes, é o grande tanque central, onde coexistem várias espécies de peixes como tubarões, barracudas, raias, atuns e pequenos peixes tropicais. Embora pretenda ser uma representação do oceano aberto, tem sido criticado por vários cientistas pelo facto de juntar espécies pouco relacionadas no mesmo espaço.

Bonjour Aires,
une scène tout à fait reposante ici.
Rien ne bouge même si la photo fige la scène.
Des couleurs fortes et contrastées entre chaudes et froides.
Bien cadrée.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

Bom dia Aires, cá estás tu outra vez antes do nascer do sol. As tonalidades lembram-me a minha captura já depois do pôr do sol. A ponte metálica e o seu reflexo fazem uma bela janela para o horizonte e gosto de ver o barquito ali encaixado. Excelente aqueles amarelos a brilhar no meio do azul.
Boa semana para ti,
ricardo

Bom dia Aires,
Vale muito a pena madrugar para assistir toda essa beleza. As luzes da noite, que se despede para dar lugar ao sol , têm um ar romântico e até mesmo nostálgico.Pura poesia.
Abraços

Olá Aires,
this warm light spot (more a small area) in the cold blue of the sky and water is more eye-catching by the bridge leading to this area. Well balanced light to have details but preserving the mood of last darkness.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Olá Aires,
Bolas, nesse mês de Março estavas especialmente inspirado! Já perdi a conta às fotos fantásticas que tens desta madrugada! Não estaria à espera que o POV resultasse tão bem, mas mesmo que isso não acontecesse, valeria, e muito pela luminosidade, pelas cores e pela sensação de tranquilidade e beleza que transmite.
Um abraço, José.
