Good sighting, Michael. Did these old pilings once hold docks of some kind?

@Judy: I think they were simply for tying up large boats. Thanks, Judy.

I'd chew my right arm off to get a photograph as stunning as this. I'd certainly chew your right arm off, Michael ha ha
This is a highly polished image, fabulous quality that would sell as a perfect picture postcard moment. I could stare at that scene for hours

@EYES WIDE SHUT: Your comment is as usual delightful. Many thanks, Paul. You are creating some first-rate images yourself these days.

Manuel from Spain
Nice perspective but the shadow ring in the borders looks strange.
7 Jan 2009 12:08pm
@Manuel: The shadow ring is vignetting done in Photoshop and generally adds extra intimacy and atmosphere to an image.

It's beautiful! I love the angle and the view between the post on that beautiful building! The white framing is the cherry on the top!

An untypical perspective but still immediately recognisable - great!

A beautiful image, just what I imagined Venice would look like. Love this view and the mood you captured here. Excellent job!
