@Lorraine: Could have been about fishing or perhaps how close he came to hitting someone in his gondola. Thanks, Lorraine.

Is that the one that "got away" or the one he caught?

Very great portrait of the gondelier. Is it a fish, his boat, or his wife he is showing?

So, is your title about the fish or the the distinct nose? :) And as well Michael I would like to express my admiration about your devotion to the A3 community. People like you make it special!

@Nataly: He could be referring to just about anything, that's what I liked about the expression. I just didn't know. You are very kind. Thank you, Nataly.
