Stained Glass

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.

Love & Hope

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.

Despaired Mannequin

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.

Decomposing Alley

One of the many canal alleys of Venice. Its ruining structures and decomposing walls give this image a chilling sense of dissolution.

Venetian Church

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. 

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.
