But, of course, it's also pleasant to just walk around and look without ever having to worry about whether your subject of interest is in focus!Steven Varni, aka Sig.

I would like also to say my opinion about the carnival period in Venice, because I think that when you say that there is a really big crowd you are right, but in these days the most beautiful things to see are the myriad of different,elegant and funny dresses that everybody wears while walking around the city. This is really worth a photo!!Stephttp://www.hotelala.it/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151589473709505648.post-24077123060277478842013-02-20T10:45:27.721-05:002013-02-20T10:45:27.721-05:00Thank you, Susie, I'm glad you liked the post,...Thank you, Susie, I'm glad you liked the post, but I still wouldn't recommend Carnevale. I understand how it can be fun for some people, but the crowds are truly awful, and while one can find interesting things--eg, I think the tours they offer of the archives are great--much of what is put on in the Piazza has little to do with Venezia. <br /><br />I don't know about the skating rink lights, but there were fair fewer Xmas lights this yr because of budget constraints. The skating rink is a private endeavor, though, I believe.<br /><br />Ah, Sandro & gallantry... He's particularly sweet on that young friend of his. Steven Varni, aka Sig.

I was disappointed there were no decorative lights up at the rink this year though.<br /><br />What a wonderful photo of Sandro! How nice to engage in gallantry at such a young age!Susie Lhttp://www.marklindsayart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151589473709505648.post-59496818235696154392013-02-17T15:41:19.499-05:002013-02-17T15:41:19.499-05:00Thank you, Danielle, I wish I had been able to tak...Thank you, Danielle, I wish I had been able to take more photos of the closing events!Steven Varni, aka Sig.
