Puente de la Mujer translates to "Bridge of the Woman" and it is a pedestrian bridge located in the Puerto Madero district of Buenos Aires Argentina. The bridge was designed by Santiago Calatreva and is probably one of the most recognized sights in this area of the city. The thing I found most interesting is that it is supposed to symbolize a couple dancing the tango. I didn't get that when I was photographing it.

I like the bridge a lot and your photo is so well-composed. But I don't see a tango there. Sometimes what goes on in an artist's head is very personal and specific! :)
It does look elegant with those clean lines. The Tango is an elegant dance so maybe that was the idea.
Quite beautiful looking and strong. Maybe that is the connection to the Tango. We could all come up with our own guess I would imagine.
I don't get the Tango thing either Sharon but it is a very beautiful slim and feminine bridge.
I like this bridge, but I do not see imagery of the tango or a woman in the bridge. Maybe it was designed by a male artist who was thinking about a woman.
