There were many people wandering St Marks Square in Venetian styled clothing.
A stained glass window along the streets of Venice. I found this interesting as an image as it seemed as though the colour and brightness was prevented from spreading.
We found these notes all over Venice. People would post details of a job, then attach their number vertically along the bottom. A person interested would rip one of the numbers to keep to be able to get in contact. I thought these were a n admirable alternative.
During the study trip we came across a group of people on strike. This was one of a couple of mannequins hung from street lights. Again I found it contrasted the beauty of Venice. I never did understand what the group were striking for.
One of the many canal alleys of Venice. Its ruining structures and decomposing walls give this image a chilling sense of dissolution.
Near our hotel was an old church. Due its age it had yellowed in colour, and I like the contrast it had against the darkness of the sky.
When I visited Venice for a study trip last year, we arrived when it had iced over for the first time in 20 years. When leaving the airport, we boarded a water taxi to take us to our next destination. The area around us was cloaked under one giant sheet of thin ice.
Sun set in Venice, photographed from water taxi. This image was very difficult to capture, and I had managed to take it just in time. I think the whole image gives a peaceful atmosphere, which is very deceiving, as when I took the photo I was far from peaceful. The thunder from the water taxi's engine was loud enough to block out thought, and the temperature felt below freezing. A deceitful image that seems serene, that was taken in a form of chaos.
