Description
This is a beautiful image of a gondola crossing the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. This image reminds me of the style of Canaletto, the famous Italian painter whose Venetian paintings are seen in so many museums.
The gondola in the picture is not a tourist gondola. It is a traghetti, which is used by the locals to cross the Grand Canal. If you look closely, you can see the people on the right (in the shadows) waiting to take the traghetti back to the other side of the canal. You can also see the gondola has two rowers, which is typical of a traghetti.
I took this picture from the window of my apartment.
