 This was taken in an alley that lead to our B&B in Venice.
 The Grand Canal, Venice, bustled with activity from daybreak until well after dark.
 The Grand Canal, Venice
 The Grand Canal, Venice, shining brightly in the midday sun.
 Jocelyn, looking down one of the many quite “side streets” of Venice.
 Looking towards San Marco Square on our first day in Venice.
 Looking towards the Lagoon as a bright afternoon sun had the water looking emerald in colour.
 Jocelyn’s hat colour co-ordinated nicely with the water
 Looking down onto the Grand Canal from atop the Per Riato, Venice. I love those varnished wood clad boats.
 Midday sun cast shadows over three of the primary ways to move  about on the water, in Venice: Water Bus, Gondola and Private “cigarette” boats.
 The Grand Canal, Venice, is considerably more quiet before dawn
 Looking towards the Rialto Mercado as, pre-dawn, merchants get ready for the business day.
 The fish market, pre-dawn, in the Rialto Mercado, Venice
 Employees, reporting for their days, pre-dawn, in Venice. Looking towards Per Rialto.
 Off to work….Venice. Riato Bridge [Per Rialto] in the background
 Looking down on the Grand Canal. before the sun comes out.
 Pre-Dawn, San Marco Square, Venice….pigeons never rest!
 Pre-Dawn, San Marco Square, looking out towards the lagoon.
 Gondolas at daybreak. It does not get more Iconic Venice than this!
 Beautiful light shines on the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute
 Venice Sunrise… beauty!
 Gondolas at sunrise
 Here comes the sun….Iconic Venice
 it does not take long for the sunlight to draw tourists to the Lagoon boardwalk.
 Bringing in the goods that will re-stock the shelves of hundreds of restaurants and shops.
 Selfie time for this young lady. A beautiful locale to do it!
 Our neighbourhood for the duration of our stay in Venice

 Lagoon at sunrise. Gondolas at the ready.
 Taken during  our very romantic sunset gondola ride. Just wow!
 Our dinner spot. I know…fancy!
 Not all of the canals are grand. Still pretty, though.
 Jocelyn bathed in light….The church is ancient.
 My favourite kinds of boats
 Ummm… you are in my sunrise view big fella
 Beeeeeeauty!
 I was trying to capture the motion of the gondolas on the water at sunrise. I think it worked1
 The only time Venice is quiet, is before dawn!
 Murano canal
 Not great light, but amazing glass in Murano

 Colourful Burano…a short ferry day trip from Venice
 Jocelyn was looking for lace in Burano! Davey was looking for colour. Neither was difficult to find!
 Burano, unlike a lot of Venice now, supports a community that actually lives on the island.
 PINK!

 Did I mention lace?
 I liked how the leaves and clothes mirrored the landscape in the houses in this one. Burano.

 Rome, view from the hotel bathroom…not bad!
 Rome…do i even have to name the place?
 Rome, even in September the Crowds around the Trevi Fountains were massive.
 Bathroom views, Rome { they were good enough to nor put on a screen and have a window you could open completely. It made Davey photography very easy.
