Our favorite from last month's photopool submissions.
After much consideration we have chosen the best of the best from our readers’ submitted photos on Sightline's Flickr Photopool. This month’s winner is ‘Simone de Beauvoir Passerelle’ courtesy of Gordon Price. The Passerelle Simone-de-Beauvoir is a lens-shaped bridge in Paris that spans 350 feet over the Seine River. We love the fact that this steel bridge is exclusively built for pedestrians and bicyclists to access multiple levels of the embankment at either end.
Here are some interesting facts about this structure:

Local and national efforts focus on training for weatherization work.
Lots of money is flowing from all levels of government to support energy efficiencies. But how much of that money is going to create green jobs that pay well and benefit families that need retrofits and weatherization the most – and who can least afford both the upgrades and the burden of inefficiency?
The good news is that at the local and national level labor unions and vocational programs are starting to train workers to get the skills they need to get green jobs.
