Foto Friday -V for Venice/Venezia 1. The iconic view of the Ponte di Rialto you enter the main canal system of central Venice 2. Rainbow row the Island of Burano in the Ventian lagoon. Burano is famous for glass making. 3. A typical carnival mask. These masks come in sizes from miniaure fridge magnets giant size masks for carnival parade puppets. 4. Some examples of Burano glass. 5. St Mark's church in the Piazza san Marco which is often flooded in February when we were there. It was a cold but dry day with plenty of sun for our visit. 6. A long view of the Piazza with the Campanile (Bell Tower) to the right of St Mark's. 7. The ceiling of the ante room to the Doge's palace. They do some very ornate ceilings in Venice, often with famous masterpieces in panels on the roof. 8. A vaporetto passing the Redemptorist church. A 48 hour pass on the Vaporetti and other public transport is a reasonable way of getting round the whole lagoon for a weekend visit. 9. Did I say they do ornate ceilings in the palaces in Venice? This is the audience room in the Doge's palace. 10. Merano, another island in the lagoon, is famous for lace and this is an example.           |

Beautiful Venezia, the floating city, an enchanting city that casts visitors under an intoxicating spell. It’s dreamy and romantic, with an undercurrent of mystery and drama. I miss you. One of my favorite City of Italy. Thank you for posting! "The only way to have a friend is to be one."

These are really nice photos! I've always been fascinated by the canals! A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

Lovely. I often wonder when I see places so beautiful, if the inhabitants realize and appreciate the beauty that surrounds them and if they visit those sites? Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
