C'est joli toutes ces gondoles. J'aime aussi les grandes maisons qui bordent le canal.
Picturit: The view from this bridge is wonderful, we are facing the direction of St. Marco Square, which is 'just' around the corner. Lots of rich family houses along this Grand Canal.

The real selling point for Venice must be its uniqueness Astrid. This picture could have been taken nowhere else, not Droitwich, Bath or even Gorinchem..
Picturit: This is unique in every way. Even the ambulances are boats, everything goes by waterways and the grand houses at the canals, breathtaking... what a city, but never visit it in high season!!
Astrid.
Who could not recognise this scene Astrid, I can just imagine you both standing here.
Picturit: We stood there and we enjoyed... it is on view 'you have to see' when you are in Venice.
Have fun at comrade Trim next week, take warm clothes.
Astrid.
Picturit: It is old and sometimes embarrassing after a close look how some places are almost fallen apart...but then all the water around it does not make things better.
Astrid.
such a beautiful sight of the canal with all of the gondolas lined up on the right shore...
i like your bistro behind the blue and green striped pole....peter
Picturit: This is a wonderful view and I think as a tourist 'you have to be' on this bridge even if it is only once. My kitchen has all the Italian specialties on the menu
Astrid.
This picture is so painting-like. Excellent. I think I have eaten in the Astrid restaurant. Likey.
Picturit: Thank you for the likey. Tom Wilson said it reminded him of Canaletto.
I hope you enjoyed dinner...

I loved those houses up against the water. Wouldn't want to live there based on what all is happening with the water levels...but definitely a beautiful image to behold!
Picturit: Venice is beautiful, but on a closer look I could tell the havoc the water is to the building, now it even was low water, many times the city is flooded... I think there is too much water around to have a good condition for houses and people.
