Whenever I hear the word Venice, my mind leaps
to gondoliers and their graceful gondolas gliding over its myriad canals.
I have taken hundreds of pictures of gondoliers, gondolas, and canals.
This is my favorite.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Adam! Have a great Friday followed by an even better weekend with Daisy!
DeleteNot too long ago I saw on the news that Venice is flooded. I wonder how they can tell. I'm afraid it means that the water is so high that it's in buildings and houses.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Hi, Janie. Yes, Venice flooded not too long after we left. People were literally sloshing through water in rubber boots in places like St. Mark's Square. I love Venice, and it breaks my heart to think of what the world will lose. I plan to do a post in the not too distant future on flooding in Venice. Have a lovely weekend!
Deletesuch an amazing photo of gondolas.
ReplyDeletehave a great day
Thank you, Tanza! You have a great day too!
DeleteSure looks like quite the traffic jam is brewing haha how do they keep them all from running into each other? Sure a great shot indeed though at your feed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat! The Grand Canal of Venice is always crowded. I don't know how they avoid each other. I'm sure there are unspoken rules of the water. Have a good weekend, my rhyming friend!
DeleteThat is an incredible image! What an amazing place to visit. I hope to do so one day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Martha! Venice is wonderful, and I truly hope that you and George have the opportunity to visit it one day in the not too distant future. Sending you a big hug!
DeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you picked this one, Louise. Very mystical and full of energy at the same time.
It's so good to see you, Jim! You and Ron have been on my mind a lot lately. I hope all is well with you both. Thanks for your kind words about my photo ~ you nailed what I felt in this photo. I've been inactive on Facebook ~ Just not enough time right now, but all is well here. Take care, my friend. Sending you, Ron, and Sophie big hugs!
DeleteThat is a beautiful spot Louise, how fortunate you are to be able to have visited!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm fortunate, Rain. I'm a rolling stone. All my life I've wanted to travel more than anything, and I'm so grateful that I can do it ~ even when I'm usually in steerage.
DeleteYour journey has been amazing from your early years to your recent travels. May you always be blessed with an adventurous heart.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Truedessa! My Great Aunt Mary went to Australia alone for six weeks when she was 93. She's my heroine! All the best to you!
DeleteLoved the pic. Wish I was there too. :-)

Thanks, Anna! I think you would enjoy Venice. I'm doing some shorter posts right now with the start of the holiday season. I like when Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving better. Here Christmas and Thanksgiving are right on top of each other, and it's a whirlwind. Have a good one!
