Venice

 early morning venice

'cloudscapes' architecture  biennale

a bit of drawing
We have just been to Venice for a few days - unbelievably beautiful, of course, and so peaceful without cars.  Even the weather smiled on us - a few showers, but even they seemed right. 












Went to the Architecture Biennale, which was really interesting, not least because you get to wander around the Arsenale.












The Venetians were remarkably nice given that they must get overwhelmed with tourists, and life seems to go on there despite them (us).









In  such a short time, it was difficult to get going on the drawing.  There is much too much to look at!  Looking forward to going back there, with more time, and really getting stuck into it.
