Oh, what I wouldn't give to be able to draw like this.
Taking trip pics is plenty fine and dandy, but what I really crave are personalized, hand illustrated impressions of the places I've been. And since I can't draw to save my life, I have to rely on the impressions of others over that of my own.

One of the nice things about living in the San Francisco Bay Area is that when you're nostalgic for Venice, all you have to do is pay a visit to Oakland, where you can take an authentic gondola ride. Really!

Sometimes camera shake totally works to one's advantage. Gives this image a certain shimmery feel, combined with the color. I like it.

The slight tilt to the right makes it look as though all the boats slid down into neat little stacks against the canal. Love it.

I know exactly where this is, because I have a similar memory of dining here one night on my very first trip to Venice. Things like that one doesn't forget; I don't recall if the food was any good, but the experience was surrealicious.

This photo may have been taken "with a poor Lumix Camera", but it's rich with artistic genius! Wonderful image. I love the reflection in the water. Both the black gondolas bobbing on a blue sky and the jumble of ochre and mustard buildings in the background. I know exactly where this is in Venice; it's a much snapped spot. And I think this is a unique image of the popular place. Very nice.

What a great gondola shot. Those two together are particularly beautiful.
Beautiful!
There's nothing like a good gaggle of gondolas. Don't you think? Oh man. Counting down the days - well, the months still, really - until my spring fling in Venezia. A city so close to my heart, it just seems wrong that I haven't been now in three years. Where does the time go? My friends there have two kids now, whom I will meet for the first time. Big changes. But the city, the city will no doubt have remained much the same. Renovations here and there, but the same sparkling city as ever. There's a new bridge spanning the Grand Canal and the clock in Piazza San Marco is finally open to the public; it's been under renovation on each of my four prior trips. And I've still not yet been on a gondola ride. So much to look forward to. Your pictures help. I can't wait.
