This is a detail from the Monument to the Discoveries which is a memorial statue dedicated to Henry the Navigator. It stands in the harbor of Lisbon, Portugal near the mouth of the Tagus River. It was permanently erected in 1960 to honor Prince Henry who led the voyages of discovery into the New World in the 15th Century. The Portuguese were legendary mariners & explorers. One can barely imagine risking the treacherous waters of the Atlantic Ocean in wooden boats powered only by sails.
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."
~ Albert Einstein
The coal fired power plant was built in 1906-1907, extended in 1925-1929 and ceased operation in 1966.

Autumn, the period of grey, the period of fog, the month before Winter...
but, please, look what warm and deep colors it has...
all around you trees are covered of yellow, orange and deep, deep red... warm colors which cover the ground too and make the scenery full or joy, wonder, surprise and infinite beauty...
even in an abandoned cottage in the countryside...
This is Autumn and it is here...

I do not know why my imagination more and more projects in these unexplored worlds, perhaps in this world is so hard to dream that I need to do it anyway, elsewhere ....
I find that there is always a need to explore, inside and outside of us....
I hope you like it, because it is becoming a real set :)
I wish you all a good week remaining, creative and dreamy ! : )

Im Haus
Die Dielen knarren
Sie sprechen leis
Von vielen Jahren
Einer alten Zeit
Die Fenster undicht
Sie sahen das Geschehen
In der Nacht, im Licht
Hatten alles gesehen
Die Wände gebrochen
Hörten stets jedes Wort
Von Menschen gesprochen
Die längst schon fort
