Dear CiTiTi, friends pho nhom en herbe et al,
I have 2 pics to contribute this week. The first one is of the 'other Venice' inspired by my lovely twin.

Venice is definitely one of my favorite cities in the world, especially at Carnivale time as my friend Dolly "-) would attest to as she's always ready to go again year after year. One year, it snowed while we were there, we woke up in the morning to see the bridges and gondolas covered in white, it was magical ... I also like Venice in the early evening when the fog just sets in and the reverberes cast their dusty pink on the city.
I called this second photo " What a life " :-) It was taken from the Vial Del'Amore the cliff walk between Riomaggiore and Manarola.
Cara Loren,
ReplyDeleteVenezia per sempre !
J'y meurs ! Venise, la cité de l'Amour par excellence,
Puccini ou Verdi à la Fenice, descendre au Danieli,
boire un verre au Harry's Bar, où hante encore l'âme
de Hemingway, dîner chez le marquis Bendi, messe à
St Marc, un tour à la pescheria,le marché aux poissons ...
En toute saison, Venise du Vénétien Vivaldi est magique,
surtout en hiver, comme tu dis,j'aime son histoire depuis
la nuit des temps,puis les Doges,en passant par Casanova,
La musique de Mahler dans Mort ä V. avec Dirk Bogard
te saigne le coeur,.....et bien sûr, le Carnaval qui devient
de plus en plus kitsch,les gondoles, Murano, St Marc et
tout le parcours du touriste besogneux !
Tes 2 photos sont absolument inspirées . Grazie mille!

BiTi,
ReplyDeleteI love, love your two entries! The gondolas photo made me feel like going back to Venice and your second photo depicted perfectly its title. I so envy the lucky guy sunbathing under the vast sky, specially on a freezing cold day like today in NYC,... though I would not lie so close to the edge of the cliff, lo* ngu? say qua' lan xuo^'ng thi\ che^'t kho^ng kip. ngap'!!! :-)
