Puente de La Salve - La Salve bridge
Su apertura se remonta al 9 de enero de 1972 y es obra del ingeniero Juan Batanero. En su origen y hasta 2006, fecha en la que cambió su nombre por el actual, se le denominaba Puente de los Príncipes de Asturias.
Este puente de hormigón verde y con tablero metálico, tiene la particularidad de ser el primer puente de España construido con sistema de tirantes.
Independientemente del motivo primigenio de su construcción, conectar los barrios periféricos con el centro histórico de la ciudad, hoy en día se integra dentro del complejo del Museo Guggenheim. En el décimo aniversario del Museo, se inauguró el “L’arc rouge” (El arco rojo), obra del artista francés Daniel Buren.

It's made of green concrete and was the first bridge in Spain to be built with the cable-stayed system.
It was built in the early 1970s to connect the city with the suburbs, and now it also links up with the Guggenheim Museum. On the tenth anniversary of the Museum, a great red gate by the French artist Daniel Buren called "L'arc rouge" (The red arc) was opened on the bridge.

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, often referred to as The Guggenheim, is an art museum at 1071 Fifth Avenue on the corner of East 89th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. It is the permanent home of a continuously expanding collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early Modern, and contemporary art and also features special exhibitions throughout the year. The museum was established by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1939 as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, under the guidance of its first director, Hilla von Rebay. The museum adopted its current name in 1952, three years after the death of its founder Solomon R. Guggenheim.
The museum's building, a landmark work of 20th-century architecture designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, drew controversy for the unusual shape of its display spaces and took 15 years to design and build; it was completed in 1959. It consists of a six-story, bowl-shaped main gallery to the south, a four-story "monitor" to the north, and a ten-story annex to the northeast. The main gallery contains a six-story helical ramp that extends along its perimeter, as well as a central ceiling skylight. The Thannhauser Collection is housed within the top three stories of the monitor, and there are additional galleries in the annex and a learning center in the basement. The building underwent expansion and extensive renovations from 1990 to 1992, when the annex was built, and it was renovated again from 2005 to 2008.
The museum's collection has grown over the decades and is founded upon several important private collections, beginning with that of Solomon R. Guggenheim. The collection, which includes around 8,000 works as of 2022, is shared with sister museums in the Spanish city of Bilbao and elsewhere. In 2013, nearly 1.2 million people visited the museum, and it hosted the most popular exhibition in New York City . Wikipedia

I love this magical place
The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain
The day wasn't very promising, light-wise, and the hour wasn't the best, but when I got outside, the clouds had thickened and provided a very nice framing for the building.
A striking building, this. More impressive from the outside than most the exhibitions inside, I must say.
Le musée Guggenheim de Bilbao est un musée d'art moderne et contemporain situé à Bilbao au Pays basque espagnol qui a ouvert au public en 1997. C'est l'un des cinq musées de la fondation Solomon R. Guggenheim. La structure innovante du bâtiment a été dessinée par Frank Gehry dans le style qui l'a rendu célèbre. Sa silhouette est le fruit d'un assemblage singulier de pierre, de verre et de titane. Le musée devint rapidement un des bâtiments contemporains les plus connus et appréciés au monde, ce qui a énormément fait pour le renouveau et la notoriété de la ville2,3. Les chercheurs ont appelé cet impact, sur toute une ville, de la construction et de l'ouverture au public d'un lieu culturel remarquable, depuis l'ouverture du musée Guggenheim de Bilbao, « Effet Guggenheim »

El Gran Árbol y el Ojo (2009 - Anish Kapoor) - Tall tree & The Eye (2009 - Anish Kapoor)
Esta obra consta de setenta y tres esferas reflectantes asentadas sobre tres ejes. En esta obra ilusionista, el artista (Anish Kapoor) sigue estudiando complejos principios matemáticos y estructurales, a los que dota de forma escultórica. Las superficies de las esferas se reflejan y refractan entre sí, creando y disolviendo simultáneamente la forma y el espacio.

This work consists of 73 reflective spheres anchored around three axes. This illusionistic work continues the artist's (Anish Kapoor) examination of complex mathematical and structural principles embodied in sculptural form. The mirrored surfaces of the orbs reflect and refract one another, simultaneously creating and dissolving form and space
