Annie from one of Venice's many bridges, or I guess in their case, sidewalks.
Gondoliers doing their thing.
St. Mark's Square and St. Mark's Cathedral. A beautiful old church and a meeting place for thousands of pigeons. Vendors would sell bird feed for the foolhearty tourist who wishes to feed the pigeons. Imagine Alfred Hitchcock's the birds--a million, hungry, overly brave pigeons in your face, hair, on your clothes, pecking for food. Needless to say, we didn't buy the feed. Watching the unsuspecting tourists get accosted was enjoyment enough. Take that Mary Poppins!
The symbol of Venice anciently was the lion or griffin. Next to is is some streetlights with the famous Venetian pink glass (and modern incandescent lights inside). Italy was like that, always combining the ancient and the modern.
A quaint Venice entryway.
