Venice

I was recently lucky enough to visit one of my dream photography destinations - Venice. Despite a bout of laryngitis I took 230+ photos in a weekend (I was a bit off form...). Here are some of my favourites:-

The Alps. I'm one of those annoying people who sit behind you on the plane taking photographs



View from Accademia Bridge


Gondola under the Rialto Bridge


Santa Maria de la Salut church


Santa Maria again


St Mark's at night. The only time it's relatively pigeon and tourist free!


St Marks Square from the campanile


View from Rialto Bridge. I was pleasantly surprised by how colourful and clean the canals are - I've not adjusted the colour of this photo at all. The way some people complain about Venice smelling (which it doesn't) I half expected to see turds and corpses bobbing around. I didn't even see a single leaf or crisp packet!


San Giorgio Maggiore and the ubiquitous gondolas


San Giorgio Maggiore at dusk. This is my favourite photo from the whole trip
