Rita Crane Photography: Italy / Venice / canals / reflection / water / moored boats / Gondolas in the Bacino Orseolo, Venice
Reposting this photo...one of the first photos I uploaded to Flickr, many years ago. Thanks for all your visits! I'll look forward to responding by visiting your photostreams!
Reflections, boats, water, colors. This is Venice! Off season it is a delight to walk everywhere among all the boats and canals, in the little streets and squares. I spent an excellent ten days there, enjoying so much the everpresent calm and beauty of water. This particular day it had been raining but a break in the clouds gave us this brilliant reflection. Moments later, as the sun disappeared behind the mist, it was gone! There is a series of these gondola images at the Orseolo Basin, all taken during that magical few minutes when the sunshine poured through and painted a dazzling scene.
Orseolo Basin behind Piazza San Marco is a 'gondola station' .... a place where a lot of gondolas are moored and from where they continually glide in and out on their daily journeys. It's a great spot from which to enjoy these ancient boats with all their detail, as well as all the friendly banter among the gondolieres as they help guests in and out of these elegant crafts.
