Description
I have to admit to loving Venice, it has to be one of the most enchanting cities in the world. Steeped in history, atmosphere and dazzling 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. Doors open directly onto waterways, travel to and fro by boat is the norm, the Grand Canal itself, a freeway on water. Fine details are everywhere in Venice, from the vintage, red tinted street lamps, to the ornate facades of ancient buildings and their elaborate entrances. It's easy to get lost in the labyrinth of this floating city on stilts, 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 blended a little texture with my original black and white photograph of this magical doorway on the Grand Canal to complete the vintage feel.
