"Sul Ponte", Venezia

"A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him." -- Arthur Symons, Welsh poet (1865-1945).

Facing each other on the bridge, a young couple sits silhouetted by the warm glow of the faux facade, its reflection in the canal below. Venetian street lamps, some lit and some not, are arranged in perfect balance with the couple. A touch of greenery, a laundered coolness, a blue sky, a peacefulness... Maybe you can see yourself in this dreamlike romantic scene, just relaxing and enjoying the late afternoon together...in the Queen of the adriatic, Venice.
