Description

Venetian gondolas waiting at the docks outside their historic brick waterside buildings. This was shot several years ago and slightly digitally enhanced.
There are a lot of gondolas to be found; what I like about this shot is the flowers on the balcony and the arches, which I think are Venetian Gothic, an architectural style combining the Gothic lancet arch with Byzantine and Moorish influences. The style is said to have originated in the 14th century, combining Byzantine styles from Constantinople, Moorish influences from Al-Andalus, and Gothic forms from mainland Italy.

Venice is in northeastern Italy on a group of 117 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges. The ancient Italian city was founded in the 5th century in the marshy Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the Mediterranean, shoreline, between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. Venice is renowned for its beautiful setting, architecture, and it artworks. The entire city, along with its lagoon, is listed as a World Heritage Site.
