Lisbon Oceanarium Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi TE friends

This picture was made 1 hour after my previous picture from the Park of Nations. This is the Oceanarium

I hope you like it !

The Lisboa Oceanarium, a big aquarium and biology museum that aims to alert for the protection need of the wonderful and important natural heritage that are the ocean, is situated on the northern side of Lisboa, on the modern area of the Parque das Nações. In fact, this big pavilion was built at the time of the great world exhibition Expo 98, dedicated to the central theme of the exhibition itself: the oceans.

The project was signed by the renowned North American Peter Chermaveff, constituting the second largest oceanarium in the world, composed by several aquarium that intent to transmit the message that at the end there is only one global ocean in need of protection and cherish, here represented in more than 7.000m3 of salty water.
The Oceanarium presents four distinct habitats (Antarctic Ocean, Indic Ocean with a wonderful coral reef, Pacific and Atlantic Ocean) that converge into the centre of the building, into the big central tank.

The Lisboa Oceanarium presents a large collection with several species among birds, mammals, fich and other maritime beings, presenting as well scientific illustrations and multimedia that enlighten visitors.
Apart from the many activities that are put together frequently, as well as the private visits outside the regular timetable, the Oceanarium also presents meeting rooms and other activities, perfect for corporations, as well as restaurant, cafeteria and a shop with exclusive items, as well as the pedagogic services and the nautical centre, situated in the Olivais Dock in Parque das Nações, promoting several nautical, sport and touristic activities.

Olá Aires,
picturesque the view of the Oceanarium centre with the reflections on the water to be an asset to the composition.I like the perspective that created from the bridge on the left as the good management of the lighting conditions and especially the warm afternoon light.Well done.

Have a good day,Danos

Olá Aires

Wonderful reflections of the blue skylight in the water, with good colour, saturation, framing & sharpness. The pier at left adds nice lead in lines, & the yellow sunlight on the structure at right is superb. Tfs!

Hi Aires,

Very nice reflections and colors are superb.
I like the line you took with the chairlift, which gives perspective to your view.
The framing is good and the light is good, you still have the chance to enjoy a wonderful weather.

Good evening.
john
