My photo of the week 37
Couldn't sleep, so working through my photos whilst listening to flamenco in the early hours - heaven.
Here's another from Venice, this time on a consumer Sony digital camera with an average lens, but the lesson for me from this one is... it's all about the light, stupid.

Beautiful Venice.. Dunno why this photo brought up to my Memory Poe's great poem: To Helen.. May be the canal or old memories i dunno
Helen, thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, way-worn wanderer bore To his own native shore.
On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece, And the grandeur that was Rome.
Lo, in yon brilliant window-niche How statue-like I see thee stand, The agate lamp within thy hand, Ah! Psyche, from the regions which Are Holy Land!

.... I was 20 years old… was sitting outside the Santa Lucia train station since the first morning lights of a winter day…in the beginning the fog was so thick, embracing everything around me… but little by little it dissolved revealing me : V E N E Z I A …. I will never forget it! this is what your nice photo first recalls in my memory, thanks, :-) Ciao, Giambattista
