While St. Marks Square in Venice is beautiful, I find the back alleyways and neighborhoods rich with photo ops. They are less crowded and often so wonderfully peaceful. As always, thank you for looking and leaving a comment.

Your colors and textures are so wonderful in this image, Doug. I love the purple flowers and the boat in the canal in addition to these brick buildings.

I have been in Venice 4 orn5 times and your photo brings back my memories. Lovely capture of this quiet back alley and canal with all the color tones and textures Doug.

Like Raj, I've visited Venice many times as well during my active career. In that time any 'port call' was too short for an extensive photo shoot. A limiting factor too was that my camera had to be equipped with slide film. The sparse slides I have are all almost faded. Therefore I appreciate your wonderful submission, Doug. You've revived in an excellent way my fond memories of Venice. Thanks for that my friend!

I love the HDR look in this beautiful shot, Doug. I've been to Italy but missed Venice. Bummer! Excellent work!

I loved the slight misty look to this shot Doug - really lovely back canal scene with a nice blend of textures and colors.

Your editing really makes the image even more lovely, I would like to have the place on the left, because of the walkway. Lovely imagery, and I have never been out of the states. tigs=^..^=

I really like the subject here Doug - the colours, the textures and the reflections are wonderful but I'm not a fan of whatever editing processed you used.

I agree with you, back alleys are better for photography, less crowded, great capture

Gorgeous. I shall have this as a desktop today!
I have no memories of Venice sadly. A place I have always wanted to visit.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

In the Robin Williams movie, "Moscow on the Hudson," Williams' character is standing in the cereal isle at an American grocery store and is so overcome with the choices that he faints in a heap. That must be what it's like for a photographer in places like Venice and Bali. You lucky dog, you... and you're doing those places justice.

Makes me wish there were back alleys in town, but then I'd have to deal with alley cats. A great capture of the canal scene, Doug. Wonderful textures and nice lighting in the photo.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
