Support - I like this photo. A subsidiary point: I think the English-language description is partly wrong. "Virgen del Faro" is "Virgin of the Lighthouse". I know of no word "virge" in English. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:09, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I need this issue resolved before I can support. Before voting, I want to know what I'm looking at. I can find no Wikipedia article about this, and according to Google Maps, the location (as given in the geocode) is "Nosa Señora do Faro", which doesn't tell me anything either.--Peulle (talk) 07:20, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ikan Kekek and Peulle, of course Virgin is correct, my fault. So I'm going to explain this place: it's the top of Monte do Faro, the Lighthouse Mountain. There have been built two constructions, one is the Lighthouse monument (Torre do Faro), the other is an old chapel. Please see here and here. The local newspaper wrote some article about it in 2009 (in Spanish). Hope this helps... Anyway, it's quite strange that there is so little information about the place because the Lighthouse column can be seen very well from the surroundings. --Basotxerri (talk) 17:56, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Virgin? It looks very much male to me. :oD Yann (talk) 16:34, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support, quite striking. I would have maybe preferred a more balanced cloud field instead of having them bunched up near the top, but no big deal. As a side note, I'm enjoying the contrasting Freudian interpretations of this structure. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 16:47, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Juliancolton: Could you please elaborate on the "Freudian interpretations" part of your comment, I'm curious what that means :o :) ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 23:59, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since Freud thought everything was about sex, I'm sure he'd say something about this 'erection' being constructed in order to 'compensate' for something. ;) --Peulle (talk) 06:51, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
