The first time I visited Venice was with my parents, must have been aged 10 or so; that would be around 1965 or 1966.
The next time was in 1978, with my girlfriend (later my wife). Another visit followed in 2009, rather more for allowing my aging mother one last peek at her favourite city. My visit in 2015 started to included personal 'themes'.

In 2020 we benefitted from the Corona pandemic travel restrictions: other continents than Europe were notably absent.
This time I went for that famous festival: Il Carnevale!
I hope you will enjoy my report on 'La Serenissima', also known as 'La Dominante', 'Queen of the Adriatic', 'City of Water', 'City of Masks', 'City of Bridges', 'The Floating City' and 'City of Canals'.

ALONG THE CANALS

I photographed with various cameras: Canon EOS R6 (+EF24-105/4 L), Leica Q2 (like above),
Panasonic FZ1000 II, pocket Canon S120 and my iPhone 11. All photos were made
in colour and adapted to B&W using Silver EFEX Pro 2 in PS CS6.

BUSY AND NOT SO BUSY

Calle Dolfin during the 'Carnivale' weekend. Masks were no longer obligatory but maybe
useful..? I did not wear any and did not get a covid-19 infection, but kept a shawl for my face.

As ever one can find locations without crowds here in Venice. A goal in itself to go exploring Venice.

DRESSING UP

Fun!

Wigs and modern hairdress

VENICE IN FOG

I was lucky to wake up one day to a foggy morning here in Venezia.

Approaching the Rialto Bridge, when we got to the other side the fog was gone!
