A few snapshots of the piazza at sunset I found on an old roll recently, taken from in front of the basilica and from its balcony…

Venice, Italy. Is there a lovelier city on the planet? Not to me! And in Venice, is there a lovelier spot than the Piazza San Marco? On the second day on my trip last December after my climb up the campanile, I snapped some photos around the gorgeous square, just a few short blocks from my apartment.

On day two of my December 2015 trip Venice, I went to the top of the San Marco bell tower when it first opened. The air was crisp and foggy, but the fog quickly burned off as I snapped my photos.
