This is so full of rich colours it is amazing to think that this is a reflection on a narrow canal tucked away in the heart of Venice.
It is a strong image and one that could so easily have been overlooked. Proof that it pays to keep your eyes peeled and there is beauty in some unexpected places.
In the early morning this gondolier makes his way gently through the quiet canals as the city wakes up and the locals go to work.
In the background the famous Bridge of Sighs is illuminated by the sun almost as if a spotlight is being trained upon it
This is another of my reflections of Venice, I was sat on a jetty on the island of Murano looking across to the city of Venice and this reflection caught my eye. The bright afternoon sun lit up the posts supporting the jetty and created this lovely pattern in the rippling surface of the lagoon.
With a lot of the pictures in this series it isn't immediately obvious that you are looking at reflections or that it's water, but here there's no doubt. As with the others though each time you look you can see something different. In this one I can see a Seahorse, at least an abstract representation of one although that maybe because I love seahorses and i may be "programmed" in some way to spot them.
