This is the part of Venice I found the most interesting... the tiny streets and alleyways where people live and that tourists tend to ignore. Having only one day in Venice, I didn't have much time to explore, but I liked the character of this shot. I think it shows this aspect of Venice very well. Apparently, no one lives in the bottom floors of their buildings; they use them for storage only, because during high tides, the bottom floors are always flooded. I believe the tide was fairly low here. Thanks to all who view and comment.
