I’ve been to Venice only once, at Christmas 1998 (which explains the poor quality of this photo: a scan of a bad print — there are limits to what Photoshop can do!). This was when I was living in London, and I always went somewhere over the enforced break. It was chilly, and frosty, but marvellously free of tourists. I wandered many back streets and side canals, awestruck by this beautiful, endangered, city.

I’d say atmospheric rather than poor quality. Lovely shot

I’m willing to switch quality for atmosphere! I suspect the cold, misty December air contributed to the atmosphere, too.

An excellent picture. I do like to see washing across the street like that.

Hey, thanks Andrew! I do wonder how the people on each side decide who gets to use the line. Is there a community rota? 😉

I’d echo the others. I think the light is wonderful in this shot.

Ta! We must give some credit to the low winter sun, too. 😉 And, not to be immodest — a lot of photoshop work.

Thanks Jo. 🙂 I’m glad I visited when I did. Though sneakingly disappointed not to have experienced the ‘aqua alta’ — just briefly, you understand, maybe on the last day.
