Out of the Jurisdiction: Venice I


Everyone who goes to Venice takes this shot.  

I like the mid-day shot.  It communicates the sizzling sun on a summer day in Venice.

  But,  I love the evening shot, showing the golden hour on the other side of the canal 
and the arrival of twilight on my side.

    @Malyss: The big sculpture you see across the canal is a controversial purple inflated balloon sculpture by an English artist. It depicts a nude androgynous and yet pregnant figure with a few other deformities. Here is a link to an article about it, with a variety of other photos: http://veneziablog.blogspot.com/2013/05/marc-quinns-alison-lapper-pregnant-on.html.

    Sure. I did, too. But I like the evening shot much better - so much atmosphere and romance.

    The glow of the light in the evening shot is terrific. I could feel the blinding light and humidity of the daytime photo.

    I hope that balloonish horror will be deflated soon. I saw the original in London and, in its original size, it wasn't so bad. Here is really too big and completely out of place.

    A beautiful scene at any hour, but rather ruined by that hideous statue.

    Stunning shots, especially the second one (looks like the gondolas are done for the day). Too bad about the purple, uh, sculpture. I prefer its midday color.

    I love how the colour is so vibrant in the lower shot. You captured what tourists think of when they envision Venice.
