Venice







“Venice appeared to me as in a recurring dream, a place once visited and now fixed in memory like images on a photographer’s plates so that my return was akin to turning the leaves of a portfolio: a scene of the gondolas moored by the railway station; the Grand Canal in twilight; the Rialto bridge; the Piazza San Marco; the shimmering, rippling wonderland; the bustling water traffic; the fish market; the Lido beach and boardwalk; Teeny in the launch; the singing, gesturing gondoliers; the bourgeois tourists drinking coffee at Florian’s; the importunate beggars; the drowned girl’s ghost haunting the Bridge of Sighs; the pigeons, mosquitoes and fetor of decay.” 

- Gary Inbinder, The Flower to the Painter -

  1. Just beautiful and your photos are awesome. Venice is at the top of my list of favorite places!
    I've just e-mailed you Henrietta as we took almost the same picture of the canal with the laundry hanging to dry! Wish we had been there at the same time and could have met in person!!!!!

    The quote is perfect. . . . . . . ."a place once visited and now fixed in memory".

    Enjoy your weekend wherever you are!

  2. Sitä ollaan taas matkusteltu .. :)
    Otat uskomattoman upeita kuvia. Näitä on ilo katsoa, kerran jos toisenkin.
    Osaisinpa minäkin, lähden nimittäin Sveitsiin (pohjois., en Alpeille) kohtapuoliin. Kattoo sitten, mitä saan muistikikulle.

    1. Orvokki nämä on viime vuoden reissulta, kunhan haaveilin paaluusta :) Lissabonissa käväsin viikon verran kuun alussa mutta en ole kerennyt edes purkaa kuvia kamerasta kun työt alkoi ja siellä istutaan taas ilta myöhään asti.
      Ihanaa reissua Sveitsiin, siellä en ole koskaan käynytkään mutta olisi upea poiketa.

  3. Upeita kuvia. Venetsiassa en koskaan ole ollut, sinne haluaisin päästä vielä juuri noiden tunnelmien takia.
