Street View


A street scene, somewhere in Venice. Where? I'm pretty sure that some of you will know at first sight! So, let's go, who will gess where?

Hi Somepinkflowers! Congrats, you have a good eye and you know Venice very well! Indeed it's the bridge leading to Campo San Giovanni e Paolo (the church is right behind me while I'm taking this picture)...

I would never have guessed having been to Venice only once but I love the shot, as I do all of your images. Have a wonderful new year and please keep posting.

welllll...

i spent most of May 2009 in venice
and before going--
i guess starting about a year or so ago--
i started checking in on your blog daily.
i wanted to learn
where to go to see what i wanted to see.

:-)

in reality,
YOU
helped me see venice
on my own terms,
so
i owe you a big thank you.
i came home with over 4000 images.
i could not help myself!

i have many shots
of this little bridge you featured, visited there several times.
witnessed the children playing soccer in the courtyard of the basilica,
ate lunch there in a cafe on the corner,
sat on the steps leading to the water and so on.

you are most fortunate to capture such wonderful images every day
and i am fortunate to view them.

again, thank-you so much.

The base relief of the annuciation on the red building is one of my favorite pieces of sculpture in Venice!

I knew it! I was just there last week. Had a magical time in Venice and can't believe I'm back home in the US.

Your blog is a real highlight. I look forward to Venice revealed in 2010. Wishing you a very happy new year.

I'd like to think I would have known it -- but I'm on a friend's PC and it is not letting me see the pictures! Well, I can still wish you all a happy new year at least!

I'm so jealous of all the bloggers who are familiar with this scene!

This bridge leads from Campo SS Giovanni e Paolo and the Colleoni monument to the church of the Miracoli.
