In Search Of …

“Lonesome Alley”
Venice, Italy

In our free time, we were on constant alert for unpopulated alleys. They were few and far between, even in the back street areas away from the main tourist sites. Tourists seemed to be everywhere. We make it difficult for the hometown Venetians to live a private life. During our next trip (there will be one), I hope to spend our time searching for little out of the way places to courteously explore, eat, and enjoy the wonderful city the way a Venetian does.

Fascination With Windows

“Courtyard Window”
Venice, Italy

Windows are like a magnet to my camera’s lens. How many different people have lived behind this shuttered window over the passing of centuries? What did it look like when it was first constructed? This particular window architecture was influenced by a Moorish/Byzantine style during the 13th century.
