Reflections on stone in Venice

Two facts: in Venice, there's a lot of stone. In Venice, there's a lot of water.
New fact: if the stone is wet, it provides a reflecting surface.
These aren't photos of beautiful tourist attractions in Venice, just photos of things reflected in wet stone. The last two photos are my favorites.



Posted for Weekend Reflections, hosted by James.
Thanks, James!

Venice is definitely on my bucket list, it looks so beautiful and obviously lots of water appeals to me xxx

OOOHHH the last is a crackerjack! A lot of rising damp in Venice, methinks. And sinking bricks.

Which is how yours truly feels at the moment - just got another 12 assignments ladled out! But I've got big floats. At least that's what my dad called them. Drowning is not an option. &*> YAM

Ah that last alley is so narrow: what a beautiful image. I always wonder how safe (if at all) I'd feel living there! I hope you're having a great weekend, Kay. Big hugs, Jo

They use every bit of space for building in those old sections of town, but it makes it so quaint. I wonder if living there is more difficult though. We are so used to getting right up to our doors with things like groceries and not walking. - Margy
