Wandering in Venice
No matter how lost I became, I always found something to see in Venice. Simply walking her streets with no destination in mind is an absolute delight.
A Small Green Door
Behind this little green door lay my home in Venice for a short while; just outside the door, this magical city waited to be explored.
Gardens in Venice
Gardens are everywhere in Venice, but often hidden from the casual eye. Some photographs of a few I discovered.
A Bookshop in Venice
The Acqua Alta Bookshop is so typically Venetian: hidden in a courtyard, complete with a gondola overflowing with books in all languages.
Venice and the Church of the Skiing Jesus
An unusual church spire in Venice, with Our Lady standing on top of a crescent moon and wearing a crown of 12 stars.
Venice, Gondolas and Me
Images and tales of gondolas and gondoliers from my visits to Venice, from travelling the Grand Canal, to seeing an attempted u-turn in a tiny canal.
The Markets of Venice
Behind the Rialto Bridge are the Venice Markets. Aside from an incredible array of seafood, there is also fresh fruit and vegetables, breads, meats - and later in the day, tourist stalls.
The Traghetti of Venice
The traghetti in Venice offer a cheaper version of a gondola ride and are a quick way to cross the Grand Canal - although you often have to stand!
