Tramonto sul Canale di Cannaregio dal Ponte delle Guglie
“Sunset on the Cannaregio Canal from the Bridge of the Spires”…
I never knew quite where I was going in Venice, but just followed the canal, or became trapped by the canals with no way of crossing and had to backtrack. Probably not the best way to traverse the Venice Lagoon. My last evening in Venice I accidently stumbled on Ponte dei Scalzi, "bridge of the barefoot [monks],” one of only four bridges in Venice to span the Grand Canal. The bridge connects the Sestieri of Santa Croce and Cannaregio. I set up my camera facing east in view of the dome and campanile of Chiesa di San Geremia, which contains the relics of Saint Lucy, the patron saint of our eyes. After creating many images of the descending sun, I decided to follow the sun by way of the church of San Geremia making a hard left northwest along the Cannaregioa Canal. The bridge of Ponte delle Guglie was the vantage point of this image, as I became immersed in the Italiano dinner time “dolce fragrante ambiente” (sweet fragrant environment) invoked by the transcendent setting sun.
