Photos from a broad

Monday, September 8, 2008

Are these sketches not seriously gorgeous, or what? Especially the second (above) of the Basilica San Marco. Yummy. I love St. Mark's Basilica and can't get enough of images and artwork (in any medium) inspired by it. Indeed one of my favorite souvenirs from La Serenissima is a small silver and marble slab replica of the basilica's four famous horses by one of Italy's last silversmiths - the last silversmith in Venice, in fact - Franco Mazzucco.

Your comments on this image are welcome, and encouraged! And a question for the artist - maikejosupeit - if s/he is so inclined: Is there anything special about this moment, day, trip, or place beyond what you've shared on Flickr that you'd like to add or comment on here? Along with other vivaca visitors, I would love to know more!

Location: Venice, Italy ★

Viva La Vivaca

Usually this blog is about your photos, but from time to time it's about my own. Not a Paris-a-day photo - or video - blog proper, but pretty much the situation here. I usually can't get through a week without going to Paris at least once. If not upwards of 20 times, or more. Often with scenic stints in Italy - my heart pines for Venice - and elsewhere in Europe, Stateside, or various other spots around the globe. You, too? Cheers to that and the luxurious affordability of picture-perfect virtual getaways. Which is to say, vicarious vacationing (i.e., vivaca). So anywho, a very varm velcome to you. I hope you enjoy this growing collection of other people's adventures abroad. May they become your own, virtually. Viva la vivaca and happy travels!

Before you lose your marbles with me via email because I've featured one of your photos, please consider that all images are sourced using *either* Flickr's "Blog This" feature or pinning and embedding via Pinterest. I'm a professional photographer, and stealing images is the last thing I'd do. So if I blogged your picture, it means that I did so via one of the aforementioned avenues. If said use isn't cool with you, set sharing to "No" on the Privacy & Permissions tab in Flickr and no one will be able to blog or pin your photos in future. Further, the copyright for all images featured on this site belongs to the respective artist or photographer as referenced by name and link in each post or entry, as found on Flickr. If at any time an artist or photographer wishes that an image no longer be featured on this site, please drop a line to marisawilliams@gmail.com or via Flickr mail and I will see that the image is removed immediately. Vivaca is a non-profit blog that is meant to be light and fun and enjoyed by all those who love photography and travel. Both firsthand, and vicariously!
