I'm half tempted to do a series of images based on these 'whatjamacallits'.
What ARE these called?

VENEZIA....I can't get enough of her charms...there are always mysteries to reveal. I've been traveling to Venice for years...I'm an artist and photographer. I love to wander down every calle and into every osteria, church, bar, shop, gallery..... Here's a link to my other blog.... Bailey Zimmerman
What a totally cool photo, Linda.

When we were there, I enjoyed watching the skill which the boatmen used to tie the vaporettos. Very cool.
Aunt Snow...thanx for the info!!
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed at the skill level of the captain/crew of the vaporetti.
It's crazy how fast they dock and load up passengers.....passengers with dogs, scooters, groceries, building supplies....not to mention tourists with luggage.
