The water reflected under the arches on the wall behind is sublime... a beautiful shot Lynn, although I think I'm kinda glad I live on a hill!

Thanks Susie - it's quite an experience, especially when the waters rise higher than this.

Wonderful image, Lynn! I’ve only experienced Venice during lower much lower tides, so it’s quite interesting to see it this way. The reflections and shadows are lovely. Hopefully the chap took some time away from his screen to appreciate them too! 😀

Thanks, Todd. I've also experienced it at a higher tide and that changed the atmosphere of the place entirely.

A fab image, Lynn. As you say, surreal. I love the way the water has written it's own dappled signature in the shadows of the arches.

Thanks, Ralph. For such a quiet image, there's actually quite a lot going on within it.

That’s an excellent vignette Lynn – documenting the rising tide that is perhaps a normal part of life for this chap, all in one image. I do love the way the light from the ripples in the water is reflecting on the shop shutters at the back.

Thanks, Lin. Have you experienced the acqua alta? It's quite something. I also visited the year following when this picture was taken and the water was up to my knees.

Wow I've never been - it sounds like waders or water taxis are the order of the day there! 😄
