Celebrating Flickr's 21st birthday - day 9's theme is Exploration.
"Monument to the Discoveries" (Portuguese: "Padrão dos Descobrimentos")
The monument is located along the Tagus River where ships departed to explore and trade with India and Orient. It celebrates the Portuguese Age of Discovery (or Age of Exploration) during the 15th and 16th centuries. The top three figures are Prince Henry the Navigator (with a model ship in his hands), Ferdinand the Saint (kneeling) and João Goncalvez Zarco (captain of the ship that first sailed to Madeira in 1419).
The monument was conceived in 1939 by Portuguese architect José Ângelo Cottinelli Telmo, and sculptor Leopoldo de Almeida, as a temporary beacon during the Portuguese World Fair opening in 1940. 1958-1960, a new monument was constructed in cement and rose-tinted stone. Although the project was based on Cottinelli Telmo's plan, he was replaced after his death by António Pardal Monteiro as primary architect.
The Bear is surprised at how soft the underside, or gills, of the mushroom is.

Discovered this waterfall while driving through the St Helens area. It was just a short walk to the falls so I decided to head down even though it was getting late. Overall it was worth the EXPERIENCE. I want to go back to explore more comps from below.

Bucas Grande Island situated on the far eastern part of the province of Surigao del Norte. It is popularly known as the municipality of Socorro, a lone island municipality in the entire province. Laced by Mother Nature with relatively peaceful shorelines. It is worthy called a tropical paradise.
There's this warehouse near campus that I've wanted to explore all year but it's always been very well locked up. I was shooting around it with my friends the other day and one of them decides to try the door and lo and behold, it's open. Definitely one of the coolest places I've ever explored. Hopefully I can get in there with a tripod and flash and get more shots before I go back home.
I used Pentax k5 + Super Takumar 200mm + extension tube + Raynox dcr250 : it's funny but a correct pic is a miracle ... I spent a day this way without result, except 1 or 2
