The Bacino San Marco or St. Mark's Basin and the Piazza San Marco or St. Mark's Square

Ecstatic to be in St. Mark's Square and in front of the Basilica San Marco

The Campanile

Ah, the gondolas

The island of San Giorgio taken from the Punta della Dogana or Dogana Point

In front of a statue near the Palazzo Ducale or the Doge's Palace

The Chiesa de S. Maria della Salute

The Dome and façade of the Chiesa de S. Maria della Salute

Resting on the steps of the Chiesa de Santa Maria della Salute

The Canal Grande or the Grand Canal

A gondola on the Grand Canal

The Ponte di Rialto or the Rialto Bridge

On a bridge overlooking the Grand Canal

The Bridge of Sighs

Parked gondolas on the Grand Canal

The façade of the Chiesa di Santa Maria del Giglio

Resting my feet after a long but enjoyable day of sightseeing through the winding streets and canals of Venice

A lesser known piazza or square out of the literally hundreds of piazzas in Northern Italy

At Lido Beach located in one of the outlying islands of Venice
