A different view of Venice

As I am entering my last week in Venice, I can’t help but to think how lucky I am. With all the studying and traveling this semester, I began to take for granted what a beautiful city Venice is. My weekly trips to the grocery store, and even my daily runs began to become to routine, I began to be more annoyed with all the tourists than amazed at the sights around me. One of my favorite views of Venice is from the water. Whether I am crossing a bridge across the Grand Canal or taking a vaporetto, the view is so much different than anything you will see when walking the streets. At night, the lights reflecting on the water are unreal, and I can’t help but think, my life is a postcard and this semester I have been living a dream that many only see on the Travel Channel.

Beautiful day in Venice

A sunny and bright day in Venice today. Cooped up to study Biomechanics but took a little photography break. Some of the more musically talented in the group aka Jim, decided give the gondoliers some competition from the balcony. Played around with some filters on my camera and discovered the panoramic setting.
