I've uploaded a few (27) photos of Venice. I hope you like them. Here's the address:

Great shots! Not the usual Venice locations. Loved the shoe carvings on the wall!

Bert,

Your pictures really helped turn this morning around.
My patient was up every 3 hours last night. I had made myself a cup of coffee and was going to sit here at the computer in a coma like state..

Then...... AAAAAWWWWWWWW

THANK YOU....

I'm with jetsetj! Beautiful photos. Nice variety, good subjects, and excellent composures. Take some more!

Thank you very, very much! There are now 51 photos. I must say, it's a bit tedious to select them and upload them. Unfortunately, even I have to admit that they are not all great, so I have been quite selective so far. I'd like to click 'Select all' and upload the lot, but there are quite a few 'duplicates' (where the first shot was spoilt in some way), and others where the light was not good enough. I took all the standard shots years ago, on film; that's why these are a bit quirky. Many have been enhanced by Picasa - the autocontrast button is fantastic for church interiors!
I hope that the captions help you to find these shots (if you want to). My sort of hobby is to find locations used in films - like Italian for Beginners and Don't Look Now - and photos that are unidentified in books and magazines. Adding captions is a bit tedious too, but I feel a bit compelled to do it. I don't want you scratching your heads like I do, saying, "Where can that be?"

Thank you so much for the beautiful photos--it was like taking a short trip to Venice while here at home.

What more can I add; they are very evocative photos, and will no doubt send many of us back to Venice with renewed ideas of how to keep ou eyes open!! Thank you. Yvonne
