La nebbia

Fog (nebbia) is incredibly beautiful in Venice and it gives the city a really mysterious and secretive feel.
When we're in Venice there are often days with really heavy fog but this year we have had clear bright days except for our last morning. After checking out of our apartment we spent the last hour before our train left racing around taking photos.  I'm glad that we did as the fog was beautiful and in some parts of the city and on the water, visibility was really low.

 Campo S. Angelo with the leaning Campanile barely visible in the background

 Gondolas near the Rialto


 Three gondolas in the Grand Canal with one stupid tourist trying to stand up. If he'd fallen in it would have been very difficult to find him.


 The same gondolas about 30 metres away

 View from the Ponte degli Scalzi

Chiesa San Simeone Piccolo across from the railway station is visible through the fog

Calli e canali

In Venice one of the names for streets is calle (calli plural) and the canals, canale  (canali plural, much easier).  It is almost impossible to find a canal which isn't beautiful or interesting in some way and the streets are equally interesting. I'll post more  as I go through the 1000s of photos that we have taken.

Da Venezia


Per noi Venezia รจ sempre bella.

 Loved the light across the water from the Rialto



 From the Rialto -always so many tourists that there ia always an elbow or some other bit in the way :)

 A bit cruel with a flash 

 A relatively quiet day on the Grand Canal -no vaporetti because of the strike. The light is always magical looking from the Accademia bridge.  It is one of the most photographed scenes in the word

On the vaporetto & Piazza S Marco

A beautiful day so we caught the vaporetto to San Marco and wandered around for a bit.



I want a door bell and post box like this!










It is difficult to take a bad shot of this view
