Anyone who's been to Venice will recognize familiar scenes like these. Here are a few of my favourite collections.
A view of empty boats in the Grand canal with San Giorgio Maggiore in the background.
Rows of empty gondolas waiting for its passengers
And here at the Danish pavilion in Shanghai Expo, an interactive fountain where the walls of water rise and fall either trapping the people or allowing them to escape. If you're fast enough, it's still possible to get in and out of it while remaining perfectly dry. A cool spot to beat the heat and it's a battle between getting myself wet but NOT getting my camera wet.

Nice views from Venice. I like the second photo, with the blue boats.
ReplyDeleteHave you been inside the circle with the camera?! You are courageous!
what fun shots for this week's combined theme.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you Photo Hunting again.
ReplyDeleteThe two photos of Venice are beautiful, the one from the Shanghai Expo very fun! :)
Like a bridge over emptied water
ReplyDeleteI will lay me down..♫. The gondalas are so lonely. Oh testing of speed and timing as not to get wet by the fountain.
Gorgeous shots for the theme. Love the last one with the fun walls of water. Happy weekend!

Great shots for empty - amazing how empty Venice can look even when it is overrun with tourists.
ReplyDeleteFun shots for the theme!

i love that interactive fountain. it must be fun to try to get in and out!
ReplyDeleteI love these photos! I really enjoy how you interpret these themes and should consider joining in one day but I'm never really good at getting myself organised!
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful city of water, Venice. My son and young nephews love to play with these interactive fountains.
ReplyDeleteWow, those gondolas are pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! I'd love to visit Venice someday.

Very scenic! With no waiting passengers, I guess the gondoliers are on break. Those fountains are tricky, I think half the fun is getting a little wet.
ReplyDeleteNice photos! I see you have a very similar blog to mine - will definitely check on you again. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I was in Venice I found it incredibly photogenic - it's almost impossible to take a bad photo in such a city.
Since you have obviously been traveling around my neighborhood... have you also been to Slovenia?
