Vasco da Gama Mall, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

The view from Vasco-da-Gama mall toward the Rail-station Gare-do-Oriente, in Lisbon.
The mall has a unique structure's architecture, as there is a special way to cool the mall: Water are constantly flowing within the double glassed ceiling and cooling the air that flows from vents on sides.
The enhanced blue tone here, due to the whole glass's building, that acts as a filter.

Howdy Ike,

Imaginative architecture, exposed infrastructure - enclosed in glass all within aqua marine color. And I have never heard of using water within the walls and ceiling for cooling. Certainly water in nature acts as a coolant when present.

Nicely composed and created,
Ray

Hello
This station is very futuristic, like science-fiction movie. The ceiling looks like a spider's web. Great green color pictures, very good sharpness.
Yours

ערב טוב. בתחנת זה עתידני מאוד, כמו בסרט מדע בדיוני. התקרה נראית כמו קורי עכביש. מדהים תמונות הצבע הירוק, החדות טובה מאוד. בברכה.

Hi Ike,

The distance between the mall and the train station is giving depth to the composition. the point of view is showing the details and colors of the architeture of the mall and the train station. The tinted windows do affect the colors. have a nice day.

Thanks Ike
This artistic lines' tangle is quite pleasing and, I know, fulfills your passion for structures. So interesting to read about the innovative air-conditionning system.
What catches my attention is the impression of a fragile structure for a look of vastness.
Shalom.

Hello Ike,
nice the interior of the Vasco-da-Gama mall with the modern construction to dominates the scene. The rail-station on the background completes the image.

Regards,Danos

Hi Ike.
O know very well this mall. A calatrava design complex including the railway station one can see in the background.
I wonder if the blueish is not due to a regulation in the White balance..?
