Mostly pictures

I'm continuing to explore as many areas of Venice as I can.  Here is yesterday's route:


It surprised me to discover it was more than 8 miles!

Here are some pictures:


                          This is the canal just in front of my apartment, called Fondamenta Zorzi




From an exhibition of glass:  famous artists worked with glass blowers from Murano to create all the pieces








                                                    The railway station of Venice



                                             Lorenzo Quinn's sculpture called "Support"



View of the Academia Bridge (only one of two wooden bridges, and the only one across the Grand Canal)




View of a typical neighborhood, from one of my walks





                                          This was in the window of a yarn store




                                               The window of a costumer, for Carnival




                                Typical neighborhood shrine area; these are common





The canal took a right-angle turn here;  I wish I knew how to paste this together with the following photo so you could see it as it was:



Room for buildings was (is) so scarce that early on they learned how to build supporting structures so that people could still pass below, but also use the space above for living quarters



                                                    The fruit and vegetable seller




The required Spritz


                                                                Reflection of Spritz


I hope that you will find at least some of this interesting.
