The Puente de Isabel II, commonly known as Puente de Triana, is a historic iron bridge in Seville, Spain. It connects the city’s old town with the Triana neighborhood across an old arm of the Guadalquivir River. The bridge spans 136.5 meters with three iron arches and two stone piers, making it Spain’s oldest surviving iron bridge.

Setas de Sevilla, also known as Metropol Parasol, is a striking wooden architectural structure resembling giant mushrooms in Seville’s Plaza de la Encarnación. Designed by German architect Jürgen Mayer, it spans 150 meters long, 70 meters wide, and up to 26 meters high, making it one of the world’s largest wooden structures.

No tourists anywhere

No to be misunderstood: I am a tourist too, but I love to roam through the city when there are less people rushing around. Half a mile from the city center of Venice the city becomes more normal and less commercial.

The rain is gone and the blue hour just arrived and gave me the opportunity to make this portrait of a wonderful beauty in the city of Venice.
