A changing Venice
Gondole bob in the wake of a passing speedboat boat under cloudy skies in Venice.
Hearing the noisy speedboat power out to sea and seeing how its passage violently disturbed the old and elegant gondole moored to the pier, I couldn't help but think about how time is changing Venice. From the massive amount of tourists that make the grand old city feel like a theme park to the constant talk about its eventual doom beneath the Adriatic, it seems as though the Floating City I remember visiting for the first time in 2004 has a different mood to it altogether. These are unlikely to be unprecedented thoughts, however, as change has been constant over the city's long history. Over the centuries I'm sure many people have sat watching the bustling canals with their minds wandering down similar paths.
