Uninhabited Spaces

Just love her Toronto skyline hat! So many jokes about mounted police, so little time. These Japanese drummers were awesome! These marchers reminded us why we were here. Great action shot of these cheer dancers. Miss Conception (in red) and some guy representing Stoli vodka. The marchers representing Thailand. I love her headdress! The main float representing Latin America. Not sure what they were supposed to be but they look like liquorice allsorts.

Gondolas moored along the Grand Canal A traffic jam in Venice. Ah, a classic scene in Venice... Fundamenta Gherardini, just a few steps from our apartment. An adorable little canal with some tiny bridges. View from the living room of our apartment. A perfect example of Venetian architecture. I just loved this facade. Had to include a pic of a gelateria ! Gondolas moored along Fundamenta Zattere Ponte Lungo Cafe chairs inside the stunning Piazza San Marco . Basilico San Marco (c. 1063-1094, remodelled over ensuing centuries) Palazzo Ducale (c. 14th and early 15th century) Il Campanile (first erected 1173, restored in 16th century, rebuilt in 1912). The famous Ponte di Rialto (c. 1591) Wandering the market stalls near the Ponte di Rialto Ponte dei Sospiri , the "Bridge of Sighs" (c. 1595-1605) View from inside the "Bridge of Sighs" Some of the alleys were mighty narrow! So many treats,
