Out of the Jurisdiction: Venice IV



Finding interesting reflections in Venice is like taking candy from a baby.  Here is a photo taken in the window of one of those ubiquitous shops selling masks for Carnevale.

Thanks for your comments yesterday.  Many viewers encouraged more photos from my recent trip.  I will have some Hartford photos tomorrow, but I will intersperse travel photos -- including more Venetian reflection photos -- with local photos for a while.

You can see other photographs with reflections on Weekend Reflections.

  4. The Wall Street Journal had an article about a week ago about the consideration being given in Venice to redirecting the cruise ship traffic so that they no longer sail past Piazza San Marco.

    On the one hand, they want to preserve the historic structures and avoid damage from vibrations, waves and pollution. ON the other hand, they want the business that the cruise ships bring.

  5. I have several of these window shots that I took when I was there. I saw some interesting things in those windows. I remember a set of tiny little figures making up a whole orchestra.
