Dear Friends: I'm off to Bahrain for a few days. My next new post should be Saturday.
You never see the rooftops of Venice, only the canals. This is a wonderful sight. Not many trees are there?

Exquisite panorama. The standardized colouring of this city wonders me...

The colours are so warm! I love the mood of this photo! Very nice compo

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!

@chinalandscape: The canals are there but hidden well below the rooftops. Thanks for commenting.
"Call 911.. report canals missing ! :P "
Lovely ..out of the box pic of Venice ! :)

@Viewfinder: Thanks, Glenn. I appreciate that.
What an amazing view, excellent capture. The patterns of the rooftops are mesmerizing. Brilliant composition.

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.
