I threatened you with that picspam, no?

[oloriel]

So here it finally is.



Incoming

My father asked why I was trying to take photos at night.

But I think they didn't turn out too bad.

The train station

Boats

Pretty city, innit?

View from Rialto

Flood!

This begs to be a painting.

Some dome with revolutionary statue.

Close-up of revolutionary statue.

Along Canal Grande

More Canal Grande

Aah, Venice.

*huddle*

Piazza San Marco

Wet, wet, wet...

Good thing we were told to take our Wellingtons along.

Of course, one could just bring a well-tamed boyfriend.

Roulette!

The entrance hall of St. Marc's cathedral

I just took this photo because I wanted to make a userpic of that hand. >_>

But they had some lovely mosaics there. Interestingly, they wrote "sopnium" and "opnibus" and such. My brother and I reasoned that they did that for the same reason that the Anglo-Saxons wrote "monk".

*sigh*

Wildlife

The flood has gone

Evening falls

A dragon! With... umbrellas?

Rialto by night

Well, dawn.

Postcard

Alas, poor Yorrick!

There, this is night.

Some palazzo

I love those flooded stoops.

I mean, how kryn is that.

Another postcard

Another palazzo

If there is room for plants, it must be used.

That must have been SO much work.

Light! Gondolas! Japanese tourists!

Some dramatic allegory

The leaning tower of Venice

Flowerpots

Some navy towers

Art

Doors. (I took rather a lot of door photos.)

Trees!

Pretty door!

The way is shut. It was made by those who are dead, and the dead keep it...

Some footbridge

Ships at San Giorgio

Piazza San Marco from across the lagoon

San Giorgio

Venice as seen from San Giorgio's bellfry

Across the lagoon

Skerries

Armless sculpture, and another view

Whaat? I like mediterranean tiles.

The family

Windows

Algae

Through the looking glass

Sunset

I rule teh world.

I didn't do it!

I feel sick at the mere idea of having to travel on that kind of thing...

Damn, but I wish my university had such a pretty philology department.

Lantern

Under the bridge

Yet another postcard

Medusa!

Windmills

More lanterns

The bridge to the mainland

This might be a poster for some fertiliser...

I'd say street scene, except there's no street...

Regatta

So here's another set for National Treasure III: Silmarils are forever?

More windmills

What are YOU looking at?

Forced perspective

Oh look! It's another door!

I'd always be afraid that my laundry drops into the channel.

The Ca' d'oro

The fish market

A tassel store! I took this one especially for iskandra and ladyelleth.

The last days of Númenor. Or something.

Another attempt at being artsy

Shit happens.

Venetians love plants, they just don't have much room.

Awwwww!

Nice boat.

NOW it's a street scene.

This is what happens to parking offenders.

Yummy!

My goodness, it's a door.

Oh pretty!

Fairy garden

Ahhhhh! So prettiful! I want to go to Venice again and buy myself one of those pretty masks *.* I love that pic of "Fairy garden"... those lamps! <333

Wunderschön!
Ich bin zwar noch nicht ganz durch, aber ich find das Familienphoto voll süß!!

[barbardin.livejournal.com]

Wie schön! Äh.. ich glaube, ich muss mal nach Venedig.
Und das Algae-Bild find ich super - sieht aus wie die Treppe zu einem geheimen Reich unter dem Meer. Der grüne Teppich sozusagen. ;)
