In an early morning fog in Venice, a traghetto makes its way across the Grand Canal. A traghetto is a kind of gondola ferry in which passengers stand to be rowed across the canal.
This looks like a painting. Beautiful.

Les canaux de Venise et ses célèbres gondoles enveloppés de brouillard, comme c'est beau aussi ainsi !!
Et la scène est joliment composée.

Hope you have a fantastic Christmas and I'm looking forward to a New year of new photographs from you
Michael..
I was in Belgium yesterday , where I made a photograph of the Antwerp station. I was wondering if you've ever written anything about Belgium, it seems like a nice subject to right about as a travelling man. I've posted a picture yesterday, have a look.

@Sien: I've never written about Belgium but I've heard lots of good about it. Many thanks, Sien.
A strong image especially with the fog. How much time did you spend in Venice to shoot all those brilliant shots?

@Mirko Herzner: Only three days. Venice is very compact. Many thanks, Mirko.
I never thought of fog in the canals, but at (or below) sea level, why not!
Standing is a boat is a child's first 'no-no' on the water, so this amuses the child in me, Michael.
Your composition is perfect ... 50 stars for you, my friend!
