Tintin: Explorers On The Moon

This building has always reminded me of the rocket of Tintin ... The "Carnaxide Rocket," a popular name given to the building erected in elevation of 145 meters along a geodesic in Carnaxide, Portugal, is actually a mark that is known as "Mama" and that in partnership with the Gibalta lighthouse, located next to the Cascais railway line, and the Esteiro lighthouse, at Alto da Boa Viagem, in the woods of Jamor, sets the leading line of Barra Grande of the Tagus River. An important function for maritime navigation that arrives or leaves the port of Lisbon, since it defines geographical and geostrategic points of Portugal.

 

This is a merge of two images, the "day" shot was taken in Alfragide, Portugal; the "night" shot (sky) was taken in Arganil, Portugal.

Explorers On The Moon was published in book form in the year I was born...
