Venice At Random


It's hard to take a bad picture in Venice.




There was a lot of graffiti, most of it not this artistic.
Official cocktail of Venice, the Spritz!


Amazing carved door handles like this (often in form of human or animal heads) were everywhere. I thought I'd taken pictures of several more examples, but either they didn't come out or I've inadvertently deleted them.
View from the gondola.

Grab a bottle of prosecco before you go to enjoy during the ride!

  10. Gorgeous.

    Ever since I saw the 1950s film "Summertime" with Katherine Hepburn, I've wanted to visit Venice.

    I realize it's changed (obviously), and yet, your photos remind me how much I still want to see it.
