Random Pics and Reflections from Venice

Some random pics and reflections from my recent 2 night trip to Venice recently.... Tip: you can click on any pic to see an enlarged version....
Had a beer at this little bar one day and loved the welcome dog!!
Gorgeous hand made glass door knob on a chi chi store (I think it was Prada)...
Venice is a great place that one can hang out with their love... I was living vicariously!!!
Looking down from one of the little 'bump' bridges near San Marco Square....
A closeup of the knobs....
Tourist in his gondalier hat, thought it was a cute pic...
Relief on the side of one of the buildings down near the water at San Marco Square...
Neat glass window on church...
Loved these round bobble thingees...
Thought these varied columns were kind of cool...
One of the horses looking down on San Marco Square....
Marble detail....
One of the mosaics on the outside of the church in San Marco Square, amazing detail...
The very cool belltower... neat clock....
The gold spire at the top of the belltower glinting in the sun against the blue sky... and one of the statues "ringing" the bell... I could hear these bells from my hotel room, they were lovely....
More gold glinting in the sun....
The rather odd compulsion to hang out with the pigeons and let them land on your head... not sure I get this, but, what the heck, to each their own... and everyone was having a good time!
My 7E Coke my first afternoon in Venice! But it was ice cold and the ambience was great....
Me in a vaparetto stop reflection....
Just a nice Venice scene....
Of course, I took so many pics that I had to break this into a couple of posts!!! Click here to go to Part 2.... which contains more in the way of reflections as well as observations on what is and isn't expensive in Venice...
