Across the border (2)

Here is the more familiar view of the bridge as shown in yesterday's image. I hope the people who live in the palazzo do not suffer from acrophobia or vertigo.

The flowers caught my eye immediately.

The boats in the canal catch my eye - I wonder who owns them?

There's no way of knowing, Leif, as we cannot see any identification marks.

I found the word they use for such a bridge - passerella.
OK, you need a bit of help, don't you? The 'border' referred to in the title is the boundary between San Polo and Santa Croce.

I definitely needed this more specific clue. Gonna say that you took this shot from the Ponte de la Tette, over the rio di San Cassiano (or San Cassan). And it looks like maybe that little passarella leads to the Palazzo Albrizzi on the San Polo side. And good for you for knocking on that door!

The building are amazing. I bet this is maze-like.

Correct, Alexa! Yes, the passarella connects the Palazzo Albrizzi to its garden on the Santa Croce side.
