Views of Venice in Old Postcards

One of the world's most unusual and certainly most interesting cities, Venice lies across 118 small islands of the Venice Lagoon on the Adriatic Coast of Northern Italy. Capital of the Veneto region, it is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture and its artworks. Over many years Venice has slowly been sinking and as a result has been suffering more and more floods. However, work has been going on for several years now to hold back the waters of the Adriatic and prevent more flood damage. Hopefully much of the damage already caused can slowly be repaired.

    You have read my mind. I LOVE Venice even though I have never been there. It is one of my all time favourite cities in the world. I love the history and the culture. That short film was wonderful. I loved seeing what Venice is really like on a normal working day. Your lenses are always fantastic!! Blessed by the western european angel.

    Pleased you like Venice so much. If you haven't already read them, may I recommend Donna Leon's books. They are detective novels, all set in Venice and as well as being jolly good stories, they provide an excellent picture of everyday life in the city - all of this you will know if you have read them of course !
