Venice: reflections

I've been back for three days now and I'm enjoying looking back at my photos so much. The only problem is that I took so many that I hardly know where to begin. Of course my friends who joined me on this trip want to see the photos too and I've slowly started to upload them onto my computer and to put them in folders categorized by day.  

I've already put the photos taken with my pocket camera in a special Venice dropbox so my travel companions can easily access them. The photographs taken with my DLSR are a different matter: I shot them in raw format and need to change them first into jpeg otherwise they will not be able to see them.

Anyways, I've decided to start posting the photos batch by batch and by topic. After scanning my photos I decided to start with reflections because I don't have an awful lot of them and secondly I just love reflections (as you may know by now).

These photos are not posted in any particular order. Just know that the first days were grey and overcast and that the last three days were very sunny. I do hope you enjoy them.

Our apartment was near the Arsenale, which is an area where in former days the shipping industry was located, as in building ships. The people who worked there were called Arsenalotti. The area is surrounded by a wall and the entrance is still only permitted by people of the Italian navy. Parts of the wharfs are dismantled and refurbished for festival or theatre purposes. On one of our nights we saw a spectacular show of fireworks over there.
