[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The part of the Piazza between the Doge's Palace and the Biblioteca Marciana, Jacopo Sansovino's Library, is the Piazzetta dei Leoncini. It is open to the lagoon at the mouth of the Grand Canal, and is known for the columns of Venice's two patrons, Marco and Todaro, that stand by the water's edge: on them are the lion of Saint Mark and the statue of Saint Teodoro of Amasea, "Santodaro" to the Venetians, who is standing on the sacred crocodile of Egypt. Theodore of Amasea is less well known than the Evangelist: he burned down a temple of Cybele as an act of Christian piety and was martyred for it. These columns constituted the official gateway to Venice; when there were no official guests in the city, gambling was permitted in the space between the columns. It was also the site of executions in the city.

Hi George,
what an unique and wonderful place! The architecture is amazing. I've been in Venice just one time for a day. It was a quite unreal feeling.
A nice capture. Great mood.

Hello George,
I like the repetition effect in all the gondolas!
Well composed image, telling the story of years long gone by...
Interesting point of view, it may look like you're on board something floating here!

Hello George
Very different view here...I like the two pillars in the middle of your photograph which makes this different. Good quality for a 12 year old scan..As usual your notes are excellent. Good one

1994 - your picture reminds me of the global warming. Maybe such beautiful pictures are not possible to take in a few years. The colours are fantastic. Great image with a fine POV, DOF and clarity.
