By the Rialto
I stopped to pose by one of the more colorful poles I encountered which happened to be in front of the Rialto bridge. I'm surrounded by water, gondolas, and striped poles. Venice is quite the rarity. I enjoyed one full day in Venice to explore and take in the sights and sounds. Since I've already been here, I wanted to return to my favorite spot. Murano.
I took boat number 5 out to Murano to walk around. It's quieter than S. Marco piazza which was packed when I wandered through in the morning. As soon as I stepped off the boat, I attended a free glass blowing exhibition. I was amazed by the skill this old weathered man exhibited. How can one so rustic produce such fragile, beautiful works of art? I guess you can never really judge.
