Don't Look Now


This is the view I was trying to re-create with yesterday's photo. The bridge is not the 'Pont of Duretto' as the subtitles tell me Laura Baxter (Julie Christie) says. It is Ponte Storto, over Rio San Zaninovo. There are at least eight bridges in Venice called 'Ponte Storto'. It simply means 'Crooked Bridge' (as in 'distorted'), and is often used when a bridge does not cross a canal at right-angles.
