Autumn in Venice


Walking through Venice is like stepping into a water color painting.  There is no clear division of where the colors begin and end, especially as the reflection in the water creates this joke to fool the eye.  And then-- there is Venice in the autumn, often set within a heavy morning fog that does nothing but enhance the allure, while blurring the lines.  A truly unique city that I have finally returned to after 10 years-- Venice is just as I remember it, if not even more incantevole, everywhere the eyes may lead. 

Lovely bar & residential buildings in a piazza

  Love the colors and rhythm of this image

Bold colors and guilding of the gondolas

Piazza San Marco and the Procuratie

Repeating Corinthian columns of the Procuratie

Canal view of Ponte dei Sospiri

Typical city center with shops

Quiet residential area

Venice around 9:30 on a foggy morning

Feeling the allure

Lagoon with Isola di San Michele (a cemetery) in the background

Typical Venetian Gothic window design

  A classic tourist spot: the gondolas

  Venetian Gothic architecture

One of my favorite dream homes

Residential buildings near the Arsenale area

  The Byzantine details of Saint Mark's Basilica
