I don't think it is possible to take a bad photo in Italy. I especially like taking photos with contrasts (fishing nets hanging from an iron banister, a Murano vase on a window ledge, a pitch-black sky outlining St. Mark's Basilica) and photos that capture a mood (serene, tempestuous, tender, powerful, nostalgic, lonely). These are not candid shots, but ones which were more artistically done. With the exception of the first photo (which was taken by Karla), all photos were taken with my iPhone camera.

St. Mark's Basilica
The pitch black night provided a beautiful backdrop for the basilica.
Proud of this photo of Isola San Giulio in which I captured
a bird in flight.

Sunset gondola ride on the Grand Canal
That ancient stone, those shutters, the roof, the flowers ...
Not a street corner, but a canal corner
Again ... the stone, the balconies, the flowers, the dark canal
The juxtaposition of David against the ancient stone
(note: the original David is in the Accademia Gallery)
If I could paint, this is what I would paint
