Happy New Year to All!

Decided to capture the view across the river to mark the end of 2011!

Shot form Monsanto woods with view to the Tagus(Tejo) river, 25 Abril bridge (which was named like this after the revolution of 25/04/1974) and Christ the King(Cristo Rei) (similar to Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).

Info about the bridge:

Shot with Pentax A 50mm F1.7

I have a "panoramic" version, which I think I am going to submit in PPG.

Nice to see some Portuguese words
