Venice Canal on Arrival.

This is my way of moving past Venice, Italy with a look at my first views along the Grand Canal heading for Lido, Italy.




The light was perfect and all my photos were amazing to me. This was after being up for 32 hours with a cat nap.

    The lighting is good Tom. The architecture amazing. It's so hard to believe the buildings sprouting out of the water. Getting around by boat must have seemed like heaven for you. Did you drop a line?
    The flight is the worst part.

    I love those old buildings. On the second picture it looks almost like a hundred years ago.

    I like the sunset photos-but these are my favorite. Something about the color of the buildings along side of the water and sky that makes it all just pop.
