Brice Maryman of Seattle sends in this passerelle in Venice by Calatrava – a bridge that not everyone in Venice thinks is terrific. (But some would feel that way about any new erection in Venice since Casanova.)

That’s tremendously elegant, but it does stick out in this photo. Wait a sec… a very old city builds a gorgeous new passerelle, but a young city like ours can’t muster the courage to dare?
It is hated so much that the official grand opening of the bridge was cancelled – in part because it is not handicapped accessible, is 4 years late and 300% over budget.
