6am in Venice, Italy

Last October, I visited Venice for the first time. I had two days available between scouting out Tuscany for a workshop running Sept this year and leading my annual workshop in the Dolomites.

It's certainly an interesting place and as expected, was pretty busy which frustrated me no end (hence why I've decided not to run a workshop in Venice now) but one of the ways that I sought to get around that problem was to head out with my camera at 4am.

I started with Piazza San Marco (St Mark's Square) and I really enjoyed walking around on my own (bar the odd drunken local too, lol). But en-route to shooting sunrise from the Ponte dell'Accademia Bridge, I went in search of some lovely quaint back alley and canals when I came across this one.

It was perfect. It had boats, wonderful buildings, a couple of illuminated street lights and a gorgeous metal bridge. How could I resist really? I much prefer exploring cities overnight, when the best bits are all lit up and it's so quiet. To this end, Venice delivered the goods but alas, no sooner did the sunrise, the streets filled. Still, the waterways and alleyways are near deserted at the moment, giving the city some much-needed downtime from the hordes of tourists (me included).

I do wonder what if any, changes will be implemented to help preserve the city in the near future. An interesting point for me to ponder on while I have the time to do so.
