What I learnt from Venice

Tired of all my Venice photos? Good – neither am I!

What I learnt from Venice:

When we give people (or nature) the space and love they need

They can go their own way and create something wonderful.

Go your own way copy

Going off the beaten path

Leads to new wonders and perspectives.

Canal

Handle with love —

A philosophy that makes life more beautiful.

Love handle

And, sometimes, in the midst of ruins

Treasures can be found.

  1. No, Fiona, I’m not at all tired of your Venice photographs, so keep them coming 🙂

    Both these photos and what you’ve learned from Venice are beautiful and so inspiring. I love the distressed and rawness to the architecture that you captured because you can really feel the rich history.

    “And, sometimes, in the midst of ruins

    You are SO right about that. Also, the photograph of the door handle reflecting a heart is brilliant. Great eye you have!

    Thanks so much for sharing and have a terrific Monday!

  4. I love the top shot … it feels as if I could step right into that scene. The watery narrow passageways, ornate touches and exposed brick buildings have a special enchantment only Venice can bring.

  6. Next to Paris I think that Venice is my favorite city…There was a time in my life I lived in an apartment off a Venice alley similar to that in your first photo, it is the kind of memory that lasts forever; you did an amazing job of capturing that feeling.

  7. Nothing in the world like Venice.
    It is a city in which your skin absorbs all the beauty. You never tire of walking looking for the lost corners.
    Your pictures help us understand that city. I know back there someday.

  10. That long view of the canal is just wonderful, Fi – the crumbling beauty of those buildings. I knew you would take me there with your photos.

  11. The crumbling decay of Venice is so much a part of it’s allure! There is really no place on earth just like it, with its mystery and unique history. I could never tire of seeing photos of it, Fiona. It is my favorite place on earth!
