Magical Blue Hour at the Grand Canal

the Grand Canal of Venice is the largest canal in this magical place and is shaped like a backward S and is approximately 2 miles long...it ends right around the area of my previous posting which is between San Marco and Punta Della Dogana area...the length of the canal is lined with majestic Pallazos that were grand in size and decor...this frame was shot from on top of the Ponte de l' Accademia bridge or also known as the Salute Bridge on the San Marco side of Venice's many neighborhoods...once you cross the bridge over towards the right side of this frame, it becomes the Dorsoduro neighborhood...the big dome in the middle is the church of La Salute...you can also see some nice light trails of Vaporettis or water taxis just lazily cruising down the canal ferrying passengers up and down the waterways of Venice...pls.
