Description
Venice has to be one of the most magical cities in the world. Steeped in history, atmosphere and colorful character, it is truly the stuff of dreams. Palatial palazzo's flank either side of the Grand Canal, the emerald green water glistening jewel like as it winds it's way through this mystical maze. Gondolas glide along gracefully, seeming to skim the surface of the water, sometimes a gondolier will serenade his patrons. Fine details are everywhere in Venice, from the elaborate, vintage, red tinted street lamps, to the ornate facade of the ancient buildings. It's easy to get lost in the labyrinth of this city on the water, but it's a place you don't mind going off the beaten track in, never knowing what is around the next corner is part of it's allure. I added a little texture and grain to this black and white image of life on the Grand Canal to compliment the vintage feel of the scene.
