Scenes From Venice, pt 4
This will be my last installment of Venice compositions for a while. I need to move on to other areas my family visited last Fall. With all its amazing architecture, beautiful works of art, excellent cuisine, culture and charm, Venice is hard to leave behind.
Thank you for taking time to visit. For more compositions of this amazing city, see my Venice, Italy Gallery.
Cheers!

Scenes from Venice, Pt 1
This post series features architecture, street photography, and urban landscapes from Venice, Italy. My October family visit was about 3 days, and excluding the islands of Murano and Burano, I came away with about 1,000 photos from Venice. As such, curation and processing has been slow and arduous. So I’m encouraged to finally begin sharing my favorite compositions.
Venice is such a special place, especially for photographers. The opportunities for visual exploration are virtually limitless. Of course, while your traveling with family, you must also be present to them as well.
While the Venetian canals and channels are quite spectacular, there is also so much to experience in the beautiful historical back alley architecture, obscure weathered façades, local commerce, and everyday street life.
Thank you for visiting and stay tuned for more posts in this series. For the best viewing experience, click on an image to view a high resolution version.

Burano, Italy
Burano is a small island in the Venetian lagoon, about a 45 minute boat ride from Venice. It’s well known for its colorful houses, lace creations, and promises to offer many photographic opportunities. I was not disappointed, more like a kid in a candy store!
The island is also less crowded than Venice and has a more authentic feel, it provides a simpler view of Venetian life. There was more time to browse, relax and take in all the charming features of the island.
I’ve neglected my photoblog over the last several months, spending a lot of time shooting ground and aerial hyperlapse sequences. But, curation of photos from my recent family vacation to Italy, Marseille, and Barcelona should keep me busy and posting regularly for quite a while.
