I like your photo and explanation. It would be so odd to see boats in our streets or areas. Here we have horses haha … https://wp.me/p3RE1e-oIo

The photo is interesting. As someone who hasn’t been to Venice I could not have picked out the missing things. I just love the pop of read. As to joining I am having confusion about which what where when why to post!

The clothes are wrong. No traffic. No gondoliere. And I suspect, no singing. 😉 But the architectural details in you photo are quite intriguing and very varied. From modern to traditional via Europe and Orient. As often is the case – you went big, I went little: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2026/07/19/is-this-a-monster-which-i-see-before-me/

I thought it a very poor attempt at being Venice, but everything I read says it’s very popular!
