My More 'Artistic' Pictures p6


This random corner.

The whole huge building behind this little brick corner was under construction and covered with the grey screen. In Italy, all their scaffolding for restoration and construction is covered up on every building. Sometimes there is even be a real-to-life image of what the building will look like (after restoration is complete) printed on the large building-blanket. Companies use this as an opportunity to advertise, like a bilboard (I think its a great improvement from gaudy billboards that I didnt miss seeing.) You can aslo see the 'bus' stop on the right. Its an enclosed dock for people waiting to catching the waterbus (from which this picture is taken.)

I thought this little corner was so adorable, and out of place.



Academia Bridge (last bridge on the Grand Canal)

Mom took this picture, she deserves the credit.



Yeah, I dont know these people

Everywhere you look down a little side street in Venice, you see something like this. Its magical. Little bridges over the side canals, boats waiting to be used. The whole place is like something out of a dream. You think it would smell like fish or something, too, but it doesnt.
I'm pretty sure the tower in the background is important in some way. I dont know what its called, but the sounds of bells filled the air of Venice frequently, for weddings, masses, and festivals.
(also, if you're the people in this pic, thanks for posing so symmetrically, and wearing great colors for this pic. I'd be happy to give you a copy)
