Venice Regatta in September (In Explore)

            Every first weekend of September, Venice shuts down the Grand Canal for 1 day for the Regatta.  The day begins with the small craft from centuries past and gradually builds into the Conquering Ships when Venice ruled the Sea.

This image was taken in late afternoon and shows one of the smaller arriving beneath the Rialto Bridge and was just 20 odd minutes before the main boats came sailing through.

Such a beautiful day :)
