[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A gòndola is a traditional Venetian sculling boat. Gondolas were for centuries the chief means of transportation within Venice and still have a role in public transport, serving as traghètti (ferries) over major canals
A gondolier, under Venetian law, must have been born in Venice to practice this profession.
Although some people now start to run their own private gondola companies who are not born in venice.
Gondolas are hand made using 8 different types of wood (fir, oak, cherry, walnut, elm, mahogany, larch and lime) and are composed of 280 pieces. The oars are made of beech wood. The left side of the gondola is made longer than the right side. This asymettry causes the gondola to turn to the right to counter the turn to the left caused by the gondolier's stroke on the right side.

Venetian tradition dictates that couples must kiss under every bridge for Eternal Love.

Ciao Teo la mia vicina del giorno :-)
I see you've been travelling, nice place to go and a good close framing, both cold colors but so intense they manage to add good contrast to this typical gondola graphism.

Hi Teodora,
High viewpoint and careful framing are special on this. Blue covers on gondolas really look saturated. The gull is a nice extra detail on the corner.
