I just flew my drone there not too long ago :)

Really? :) Put some shoots here ;)

I will! It wasn't easy to get permission to fly there because it's close to the airport.

Yep! I know there are even more restrictions in this area.
Cheers!

Esta torre é linda!! Tenho a sorte de poder olhar a janela e ver esta torre magnifica no horizonte. Sem duvida uma das maravilhas da antiga Expo98. No ano novo costumam lançar fogo de artificio de lá e é simplesmente lindo! Bom post @psos Abraço

Obrigado @warnas :)
Já fiz lá uma passagem de ano sei como é o fogo ;)
