My first of a few series on Venice from January this year. Others to follow.

Venice was cold, damp and shrouded in fog. I thought much better for B&W.

 

C&C greatly appreciated.

A terrific series, moody and lovely.

 

A few years ago I saw a short documentary on gondola builders and was amazed at the special features (a slight curve to the longitudinal axis so that oaring on one size will propel the boat in a straight line), and extensive apprenticeship, often as much as 20 years.
