An alternate title that came to mind that probably only I would understand was '3 5 1'
I often 'see' number sets when I photograph and when shooting this scene I first saw (in my admittedly strange way of seeing) a set of three round objects on the left, 5 vertical lines in the middle and 1 rectangle on the right. Perhaps a therapist could help?
Coincidentally the telephone country code for Portugal is 351.
See the first comment box below for a couple of other examples of my delusional thinking. :)

A beautiful old-fashioned waterwheel recreated in the Springfield, Missouri, Bass Pro store. We are so proud of this store and the nearby award-winning Wonders of Wildlife Aquarium.

The 410hp triple expansion steam engine installed in Brede Waterworks, Rye, East Sussex is an exhibit of the Brede Steam Giants waterworks museum. This particular engine was installed in 1904. Originally there was a second identical engine in the building but now removed. The engine operates on compressed air during open days. I had a struggle to get a reasonable image from the small viewing platform in the corner of the building due to the very bright sunlight outside.
The museum has many exhibits including a preserved nuclear bunker which would have operated as a water distribution control centre in the event of thermo-nuclear conflict.
Die Google Zentrale in Irland wurde vom Architektenstudio Camenzind Evolution in Zusammenarbeit mit der Firma Henry Lyons Architekten entworfen und verwirklicht.
Das Ziel des Projektes war, ein inspirierendes und interaktives Ambiente für die Angestellten zu kreieren.
Die Architekten versuchten, einen multifunktionellen Raum zu gestalten.
5 Restaurants, 42 kleine Küchen, Erholungsbereiche, Fitness, Pool, Wellness Bereich, über 400 formale und informale Konferenzräume, ein Forschungszentrum sind nur die Highlights im Interieur.
Alle Bereiche wurden laut der Google Philosophie für interaktive und kommunikative Arbeitsatmosphäre konzipiert.
Die Gebäude sind durch eine Brücke miteinander verbunden, die wie ein gläsernes Dreieck mit abgerundeten Ecken aussieht.
Das Bild im Kommentarfeld habe ich nach dem Entzerren lediglich mit einigen Ausbesserungen versehen.
Bei diesem hier mergte ich drei Fotos... es ist immer noch ein weites Übungsfeld, aber so langsam wird es besser ;-)

The "Waterloopbos" is an area where research took place for several waterworks in The Netherlands. Decades later deterioration of the research models is quite sever. Nevertheless a nice area to visit and walk around.
Hamilton was in trouble. Cholera outbreaks were occurring and the city needed a fresh water supply. The answer was the construction of this rather unique structure that included a boiler room which fed two massive 100 hp steam engines that drew water from Lake Ontario and pumped it 1.9 Km and up 150 feet to a reservoir located on the escarpment adjacent to the city.
No expense was spared in its construction and the entire structure was overbuilt. The smoke stack only needed to be 50 feet but was increased to 150 feet simply so that it would serve as a landmark. In fact this was the reason for its preservation. In the mid 60's plans were made to demolish it but they found because it was so overbuilt demolition was prohibitively expensive. Ultimately it was decided to preserve it as a heritage site and operate it as a museum.
The pumps are still in working condition and the tour is quite informative and fun. Well worth exploring.
