#1 Vaporetto Line, Grand Canal, This Evening, 6:50 pm


A beautiful early spring Saturday turned into a mild evening, but there were few people here to see it.

A couple of hours before the above image was taken a local kayaker was lured by the nice weather into the Grand Canal--in clear violation of Italy's strict injunction to stay at home--and from what I could tell just barely managed to escape being hit with the 3,000 euro fine that is now levied for such infractions.

  1. At first I thought that was somewhere near St Stae, but now I'm not at all sure. Hmm. May have to take a Google along the canal to find out.
    But what an idiot that kayaker must've been!
    Thanks again for your always interesting posts.

    1. You're welcome, Ella. In terms of your characterization of the kayaker, well, we hadn't seen nothin' yet, as they say.

    1. Thanks, Rob, I hope you are doing the same, and are living in a place where competent adults are setting public policy which, sadly and dangerously, doesn't seem to be the case everywhere.
