Iced Over

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. 

Venice, Like any Other

Venice has ugly sites to see as well as beautiful. This image shows that it is not all beautiful as brochures portray it. The works in the background really contrast the angelic state associated with Venice.

A Day in Venice

A bright day in Venice, photographed from water taxi. I enhanced the blue in this image in photoshop. I feel the bright colour brings it to life. My favourite thing about this image is the small border of Venice. 

Venetian Sun Set

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.
