Venice – 2

I put a few photos of Venice up on here a long time ago. Today I fancied putting up a few more. We’ve been to Venice just the once, and really enjoyed it. We saw it in the sun and in the rain. Both were beautiful. We should probably go again before it sinks.

There are a lot of large houses of this type!

The ubiquitous gondolas.

Hope your day is a good day.

Venice…a bit…

Call me arty. Call me something, anyway.

I’m in the middle of a ridiculously busy couple of weeks, so in place of one of my usual ‘witty’ and ‘well-argued’ posts, here are a small selection of pictures that I recently put up on my Picfair site.

I still don’t even have time to catch up with anyone else, but I will in a week or so. Honest!

Gondolas. It’s Venice, there have to be gondolas.

Umbrellas. It’s raining. You get umbrellas.

The Venetian version of a backstreet. Or backwater. Whatever.
