Thanks, Melbob, for your kind words! They are especially meaningful, bearing in mind that youwith your background must be considered an expert in harbours... ;-) db.
Cindy: Thanks a lot for your comment! And, yes, this is a wooden old sailing boat on the right hand side of the image. It might be thereI cant rememberas a permanent attraction (just for display? as a restaurant? I really dont know). The whole Puerto Madera project is designed less as a real harbour than as a entertainment and pleasure district with lots of restaurants etc.
jnconradie: I had searched Google as well before answering your first comment. And I could not come up with any indication of a bridge by Calatrava in London (though I do agree with you about the similarities). Doing a search by name, though, you find a lot of images of buildings by him on the net.
I think you will see the resemblances which made me think back to the bridge I saw in London. I have no idea though who designed the Canary Wharf bridge.
Instantly recognizable as a Calatrava - the small city of Redding California is fortunate to have one too - the Sundial Bridge :) which shares similarities with this one. Is that an old wooden sailing ship on the right? Interesting element in the modern scene. Cindy
I am not awareif that means anythingof any bridge by Santiago Calatrava leading to Londons Canary Wharf district. But there are many bridges, several train-stations and even an airport-terminal designed by him on the European Continent (mainly in Spain where Calatrava comes from, and in Switzerland where he studied and where his head-office is located). The bridge pictured here can be turned horizontally to allow for the passage of ships. Thanks, jnconradie, for your friendly comment on my picture! db.
Fantastic structure... and reminds me a lot of a bridge I often walk over when I visit London's Canary Wharf area. But I cannot recall its name. Who knows, it might even have been signed by the same person. Beautifully composed and excellent colours. Regards jnconradie
