    I was so eager to join in this time that I forgot to appreciate! You’ve just shot Venice up to the top-ish of my travelling list again. Maybe after Scotland’s western islands. The first and last photos are my favourites for their wonderful composition, and the last one for its many interpretations of “continual”

    All 5 words for venice and in such different ways. I like the first as it’s a favourite spot, but St Mark’s Square is excellent too. In fact, they are all brilliant.I feel as though I’m back there right now 🙂

This is what Venice does to me, makes me look further and further and always I see it with “a new set of eyes”. Thank you.

    Hi Paula. I’m so thrilled to come across this post. I have just booked a trip to Venice for my family. Coming from the South, we’ve decided to see the new year in, in Venice – Winter in Venice. So when I saw your pictures, it felt like the universe was talking to me. I love your pictures and your interpretations and look forward to any others you may post. Chevvy.

        Thank you so much Paula. We’ll be spending 6 nights in Venice not far from St Mark’s square and I’d like to optimise our time there. I will certainly look at your links and may come back with questions if I have any. I did a post on Malta earlier this year. I haven’t been there before but was just expressing the dream. I’ve now booked to go so we’ll be going to Venice from Malta. I’ll be sure to visit your blog later and thanks again! Have a lovely day!😀
