The weather is still warm, but a couple of days ago we had the first thick fog since last winter/spring and there are hints all around that we've begun our move into that "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" as Keats put it (about a very different place). The quiet island of San Pietro di Castello is a nice place from which to contemplate the change.
Beautiful photographs, I am particularly struck by the stillness of the water. It must be magical to row on!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susie, and it was quite wonderfully still that night--but I also have to admit the very long exposure time also really smooths out the water!
ReplyDeleteReally great pictures Steve. Remember me when I was going out with friends in a sandolo at night (now with mascareta, but usually in daytime). Now in the States, looking to spend a few days in Venice end of October. F.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Francesco. As you know better than I, night or the early morning is the best time to be out in Venice, whether on water or on land. I hope you're enjoying the US now & to see you later in October.
