Description
It's not easy to find a moment of solitude in a city as congested as Venice, Italy. In the height of summer the canals are almost as busy a freeways and gondoliers jostle with packed Vaporetti and water taxis for their place in the Venetian traffic. But sometimes....just sometimes....you will be lucky enough to find that perfect place and as I spotted this gentleman, relaxing with a book as the subtle waves lapped beneath his feet, oblivious to his surroundings, I have to say, I felt rather envious. It seemed to me like the ideal way to experience Venice. As a local he had the luxury of enjoying the day at his own pace, far from the madding crowds. I blended a little texture with my original photograph to compliment this old world Venetian scene.
