Beautiful photos of a very beautiful city which I was lucky enough(...

Love the crumbling brickwork and the little shrine.  Venice is a photographer's dream - around every corner is some delight to focus on!  All that washing strung between buildings, down the back alleys, like a parade was coming and they'd hung out all the flags!

Hi Rod,

Just made some advertising for this group, so the 18 members following already will hopefully increase soon. Lovely photo's already! Keepup surprising us with your views please!

Wow! Beautiful photographic diary, Rod, I do love your pics!

80 mins? Really? After flying for 8 hours we haven't even left Australia...

Fantastic photos, Rod! Red drapes is a stunning pic! Wow!

...so, if the weather is fair and sunny, maybe I'll

fly over to Venice for Oct. 25th??? IF only.... :-)

Beautiful colors the light is perfect the red drapes in the large room is wonderful and so is the reflection off the water.  The food sounds great if I could afford the airfare I would be there for tomorrows dinner but gotta work!  I was in south Italy and Sicily last fall wonderful food, people and antiquities and the sea was beautiful

What can I say about today? It was the same as yesterday, sunny bright and warm, the only difference being that today I am rested and recovered from the transition from The Netherlands to Italy.

I did a little shopping today, tomatoes, cheese, rice and wine and have to remark on the friendliness of the Venetians, at first the shopkeepers, market stall holders, assume I’m Venetian but when they hear I’m an Englishman they smile and are genuine and helpful.  I spent a half hour today in the computer shop discussing why my internet connection is so slow and how there is nothing to be done about that, I am spoiled at home by having fibre optic high speed connection and here the net runs via the telephone cable.

Here is a small selection of today’s photos

Wow, yes, that banana eating session was a long time ago! Anna, Bill (Gaglione) Liz and me sat round a table eating bananas in the crumbling house on the Capucijnenstraat.  I took some great photos today (in between working with Jürgen in the gallery) I'll post them here later this evening.  Wish you were here, the wine (Valpolicella) is excellent the weather mild:)
