This was my last picture of the day, the final day of a wonderful Smithsonian Journeys tour of the ‘Highlights of Italy’. The end of the light was also the best of the light, and after a full day of sightseeing here in Venice it was good to go down to the Bacino waterfront and get a look over the water as the sun began to set. Tomorrow morning it’s off to Padua for ten days, but I’ll be making day trips back here to Venice and also to Ravenna, Verona, and Mantua. Keep posted!
