[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Portuguese]
The Gare do Oriente, one of the workmanships most emblematic of the Expo-98 and that it started to be one of the reasons of pride of the modern architecture built in Portugal, that is not summarized to the terminal of light trucks.
It has a gigantic underground emptiness, with an enormous ship of hardened that it serves the railroad station, the meter and the parqueamento automobile, where if notice in the finishings influences of Gaudi.
In the front directed to the river, observes one complicated teia in which the iron if mixture with the used glass as if they were fish scales.

this looks like something in a sci-fi movie like the mall scene in Minority Report, to me.
I like the motion, a lot.

Muito boa imagem!
Eu sou fã desta obra de Santiago Calatrava.
Acho é interessante o facto de estar na "featured destination" sendo esta o Porto, hehehe, é que aqui nõa temos nada do género.
Gosto muito do aspecto Sci-fi que conseguiste.

This is one picture where, being central is impressive.You can see the symmetriness but also the contrast. Probably akin to East & West as in this case of,Orient Gate or Station.

Impressive architecture. I like how you have chosen a symmetrical composition. There is a nice depth to the picture with the bluish lights leading the eye into the frame. I also like the contrast between the stationary and moving people. Good shot!

Great shot, Joao. Incredible architecture - very futuristic. I like the way you have captured the people spread throughout the area. Well seen and framed.

This is really beautifully designed archtecture, I think you have done a great job in capturing this wonderful arena of lights, glass, concrete and geometry. I really like the people in the image, they give an idea of the size of the structure, as well as add movement. This structure is really something to be proud of.
Well captured Joao.

This is a very futuristic and beautiful conception indeed, that you framed perfectly with a great sense of symmetry. Perfect exposure and light, amazing greyish/green colors. Nice also to see movement of people giving a dynamic touch to the scene. Very good shot, Joao.

Tiene un efecto especial las luces de las escaleras. Muy buena.

I love all the curvy light colors in this photo. It glows with that greenish color and all the silver seems to be almost liquid. Very nice composition.
