Views of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao from the Puente Le Salve.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum of modern and contemporary art in Bilbao (Biscay), Spain. It is one of several museums affiliated to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and features permanent and visiting exhibits of works by Spanish and international artists. It was inaugurated on 18 October 1997 by King Juan Carlos I of Spain, with an exhibition of 250 contemporary works of art. It is one of the largest museums in Spain.
The building, designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, was built alongside the Nervion River, which runs through the city to the Cantabrian Sea. A work of contemporary architecture, it has been hailed as a "signal moment in the architectural culture", because it represents "one of those rare moments when critics, academics, and the general public were all completely united about something", according to architectural critic Paul Goldberger. The museum was the building most frequently named as one of the most important works completed since 1980 in the 2010 World Architecture Survey among architecture experts.
The La Salve bridge formerly called the Príncipes de España bridge until its change in 2016, is a bridge over the Bilbao estuary in Bilbao, Vizcaya (Spain).
It is called the bridge of the Salve because when the ships arrived at the port of Bilbao through the estuary, at the height of the bridge is the first place where the Virgin of Begoña is seen and there the sailors sang the Salve to her.
Its opening took place on January 9, 1972 and its author was the engineer Juan Batanero García-Geraldo. It was designed at the end of the sixties, to solve the problem of traffic, which was beginning to become saturated in the north of the city. It was also the first in Spain with a brace system and one of the few with a metal deck. It has 23.5 meters of free height for the passage of boats, being fixed.
It is equipped with elevators from its base on the right bank, in the area of La Salve, at the end of Campo de Volantín. These are maintained by the city council, transporting 200,000 passengers annually. They have been free since May 2008.
Next to this bridge, on the left bank of the estuary, is the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao . Furthermore, it is curious to contemplate how the architect of this museum wanted to integrate, in a certain way, this bridge into it, building, for this purpose and on its left side, as seen from the Campo de Volantín, a high tower with access stairs. to the museum, which is located on the right side.
The Maman de Louise Bourgeois spider like sculpture.
Louise Bourgeois
Maman (Ama)
Like a creature escaped from a dream, or a larger-than-life embodiment of a secret childhood fear, the giant spider Maman (1999) casts a powerful physical and psychological shadow. Over 30 feet high, the mammoth sculpture is one of the most ambitious undertakings in the long career of Louse Bourgeois. Over a vast oeuvre spanning more than sixty years, Bourgeois plumbed the depths of human emotion further and more passionately than perhaps any other artist of her time. In its evocation of the psyche, her work is both universal and deeply personal, with frequent, explicit reference to painful childhood memories of an unfaithful father and a loving but complicit mother. Bourgeois first gained notice in the 1940s with her Surrealist-inspired Personnages (1945–55): thin, vertical forms in wood or stone that evoke the human body. Installed in clusters, suggesting a small crowd or perhaps a family, the Personnages were meant to symbolize figures from the artist’s past. Maman, in fact, is associated with the artist’s own mother. The spider, who protects her precious eggs in a steel cage-like body, provokes awe and fear, but her massive height, improbably balanced on slender legs, conveys an almost poignant vulnerability.

This is the view from halfway on the Busselton Jetty, away from the underwater observatory at its end, towards the beach. During Winter, the jetty's rail shuts down but walking on it can be pretty scary when a storm comes, bringing choppy waves and strong gushes of wind. But after that, the sun comes out bringing along with it a glorious rainbow.
At Ke Hradu, Praha, Czech Republic; right outside the gates of the Prague Castle, just before a large downward-sloping steps into the heart of the city, one can have a fantastic view of the city. This perspective of looking at the city is pretty unique, neither too low or too high but just skimming the rooftops of the beautiful European architecture. One can spot the steeple of St. Nicholas Cathedral and the golden rimmed roof of the National Theater too.
