5/21/2005: Summer plans: Venice
(well.. not my summer plans, unfortunately)
I've never been to Venice, and although I would love to see it someday, I almost feel as if I have been there now, thanks again to the new world imagery Keyhole has to offer.
So, in keeping with the last few days' posts showcasing some of that imagery, I give you a Venice Keyhole tour. It features the more popular destinations, so be sure to poke around the side canals as well to see what you can find.
By the way, my apologies if you tried to download and view one of these Keyhole tours that didn't work. The error links have been fixed.
Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go. --Truman Capote
A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him. --Arthur Symons
Santa Maria della Salute, on the Grand Canal
Two views of the Piazza San Marco - the second is wet due to Venice's "sinking" problem (which is fortunately becoming more understood and addressed)
The Bridge of Sighs
Rialto Bridge, built around 1590 on approx. 12,000 wooden pilings
