Rita Crane Photography: Winter Light, Venice
View across the Lagoon to Sestiere Dorsoduro, from Riva dei Partigiani, Venice, after a rainstorm. And here's information about Dorsoduro, one of the six districts (sestiere) of Venice: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsoduro Thanks for stopping by. I will respond on Your photostreams. Have a good week! =0)
[Two more images below, Flickr friends. The Mediterranean in its gentle aspect....under soft winter skies.]
Description: I had just arrived in Venice, it was my first afternoon there, and I walked along the waterfront that faces Dorsoduro under a moody winter sky that had just begin to clear from a rainstorm. I had heard so much about Venice it was interesting to start recognizing those aspects of the place that I had read about, and to see for myselft the soft shimmering light Venice is known for.
And there it was in front of my very eyes! I did my best to take a picture that would convey the lyricism of this kind of moment. When I eventually go to print the large file of this photo it will take a little doing to transmit that magical moment to paper. But I will definitely try. In the meantime, here's a peek at one of the reasons I fell in love with Venice, aside from its great architecture. The presence of water all around, and no cars, not one single car. Soft water lapping at the docks, surrounding one everywhere. How peaceful and soothing it is!
