Morning light on a canal and buildings in Venice, Italy.

This week I began sharing landscape photographs from California once again, including recent work from a late-summer visit to areas just east of Yosemite. But I’m not done with the Europe photographs yet — not by a long shot! There will be more of the nature photography, but today I’m back in… Italy, Venice to be specific.

Venice is a complex place. It is city that is quite crowded with tourists, especially during the summer months when we visited. (It is possible to escape the worst of that by being selective about where you stay, where you go, and the times of day when you wander.) I was out in the morning on this day, and there were hardly any other people. There’s a lot going on in this little composition — a bridge and a boat, of course, but also a building showing the impact of rising water in this old city, and some surprising shapes on some of the walls. There is also some wonderful low-angle light that reminded me of what I find in the red rock canyon country of Utah.
