You never see the rooftops of Venice, only the canals. This is a wonderful sight. Not many trees are there?

To my surprise, Venice looks so crowded. I first knew this city from my text book during my middle school many many years ago. In my knowledge water canals crisscross the city every where, but this photo shows so many crowded buildings. Truly surprised!
16 Jan 2009 12:23am
@chinalandscape: The canals are there but hidden well below the rooftops. Thanks for commenting.

"Call 911.. report canals missing ! :P "

It is a very unusual view of the rooftops, but I am sorry you might have had a heavy finger when you pushed the saturation, the colours are not veru realistic.
It is a pleasure anyway to see this picture. I am an unconditional fan of Venice.
