mindful photos 
wonderful shots of Venice, one of my favourite cities.
Have you come across the crime writer Donna Leon? Her detective series is set in Venice – so much more enjoyable to read having visited Venice some years ago (pre-digital camera days) and she enjoys making the occasional dig at Italian bureaucracy, well worth reading
I will have to look out for her books – must be nice being able to visualise it all the more easily. Thank you for your appreciative words about my pictures! I look forward to exploring more of your blog.
Dear Miles,
I got here from your post today. I am so glad you got to Venice before you were confined to a scooter. These shots (most of which I had not seen) are gorgeous. I’m sharing them with some other Venice lovers who may not see them otherwise.
You photos at Scooter Shooter are fabulous but they will never take the place of Venice in my heart, but then I think you know that about me.
Take care,
Michelle
Thanks so much Michelle.
I think WordPress (or me?) may have had a wobble earlier and posted a post before it was finished. I scheduled a post to go out tonight on Mindful Photos. So you might get it twice.
Not a problem….it’s a great post. That must be why when I clicked on “like” it said that the post could not be found.
Wonderfully observed and unusual views of a much photographed city – I’m so jealous, still haven’t made it there yet!
Thanks Jane for such a thoughtful and uplifting response to my Venice photos. I tried to avoid the cliche, but sometimes it’s impossible in such a uniquely beautiful and much photographed and painted place…….even so, I was still often surprised by what I found in Venice. I plan to go back in different seasons – many things permitting.
I would love to see the resulting shots if you do!
and I’d recommend a visit. From what I’ve seen of your website, and lifestyle, I think you would love it…..just go in a season when there are less crowds.
It is definitely on my list, along with Rome which I also have not yet visited – they’ll need to be out of season visits for sure!
