I find it odd to realize that at one time--for many centuries--bragozzo and fisherman would have been so common in Venice as to pass almost unnoticed but now they have become so rare as to seem almost magical, dream-like.Steven Varni, aka Sig.

It is quite peaceful, generally (if some neighbor isn't blasting a stereo), and seems to be an entirely different way of living than in Venice or even Burano--though many of the people with houses out there now seem to use the area as a weekend get-away, rather than a full-time residence with easy access to their work as fishermen on the lagoon.Steven Varni, aka Sig.

I was beginning to get the impression that there were almost no fishermen left in the lagoon--and there really aren't too many--so to see the crab traps and then to happen upon this guy was a very pleasant surprise.Steven Varni, aka Sig.
