Seeing History

Through the Ages

After all of the color lately, here is a little relief for your eyes. A scene right out of history, you can practically go back in time. Can you just imagine, the Venice of old? It is such a unique place, I think it’s easier here to lose myself in history than almost any where else, especially in black and white. Removing the color minimizes the distracting modern details, like the scaffolding on the building or the tourist’s clothes in the gondola. It becomes a photo of place and not of time.

A bit of contrast as compared to yesterday, no? When I took yesterday’s photo I was thinking of a title something like, “So Bright it Hurts.” Heehee.

Is everyone ready for tomorrow? It’s not only Thanksgiving in the USA, it’s the Mortal Muses “We are Thankful” blog hop! Join us from wherever you are in the world, as we hop around and visit blogs to see the reasons you are thankful. I’ve got a special surprise for you here too, so please come by!

    Absolutely gorgeous! Of course it doesn't hurt that it's one of my favorite sights in the entire universe.

    What I see so clearly is the water's reflection. Indeed, a wonderful shot Miss K. Your creative never ceases to inspire me!
