Black and white film photo. In the foreground, a few gondolas are moored to wooden poles, their bows reflecting in the water. In the background, a view of the lagoon.
Black and white film photo. One of the covered walkways of Palazzo Ducale in Venice, seen empty during the early hours of morning. The image conveys the sense of perspective by looking straight into the walkway from the adjacent square.
Black and white film photo. A canal between two marble buildings in Venice, linked by a small bridge.
The bridge is the famous Ponte dei Sospiri (bridge of sighs), named like this because it was the path the prisoners took from the prisons (the building on the left) to the interrogation rooms in Palazzo Ducale (the building on the right)
Black and white film photo. A view of Venice's monumental waterfront (Riva degli Schiavoni) and the Venetian lagoon in the background, framed by the corner arches of Palazzo Ducale walkways.
Have an early #MonochromeMonday (it's already Monday here) with some of the photos I took in Venice
