Rita Crane Photography: Italy / Venice / night / restaurant / canalside / reflections / Winter Evening in the Castello, Venice
Reposting.....for new contacts who may not have seen this one.
Going home to my rented apartment one evening along the little rios in the Castello district, this scene called to me to take a picture. It was absolutely peaceful, the waiter standing outside the door to the restaurant had encouraged me to come have dinner there as the place was truly empty on this deserted chilly winter night. After wishing him a good evening, I walked on. There was a stone bridge nearby, so I propped the camera on the wall and took a succession of images. I like the "calligraphy" in the water in this one and the glow of the tethered boats barely visible in the darkness. The waiters and passers-by standing outside give a little flair to a typical everyday scene in one of the many dark byways of this remarkable city. "Buena sera!, " people say, as you walk by. "Good evening!"
Here is a link that describes the Castello, one of the six 'sestiere' or districts of Venice: in English: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castello,_Venice and in Italian: it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castello_(sestiere_di_Venezia).
