walking (briskly) in Venice

We had a great trip to Venice. It is easy to be charmed by this city, where something catches your eye around every corner. My experiment was to take no single photos, but to make collages of many photos to try to better capture the sense of these places. My classmates joked that I will still be putting these collages together when I am retired-- could be true!

We walked all over the city to museums, churches, over bridges, through markets, and took the vaporetto to other islands in the lagoon. Cold and sunny weather changed to blustery cold, and then snow, and back to sun again.

Here are a few highlights from the trip:

One of the most stunning churches is Santa Maria dei Miracoli, with its amazing polychrome marble:
