Quiet Night
Venice, Italy, 2009
A week from today we’ll be on a plane bound for the US, our time as residents of Italy will be over. This weekend I’m off to Venice, one last hurrah before all of the final appointments to cancel, close and dismantle our lives here. A last hurrah before we clean and hand over the keys, driving away from our apartment a final time.
Since I’m going to be a little bit overwhelmed for normal blogging, I’ve decided to share some of my favorite images from the last two years of living in Italy and traveling in Europe. These are the pictures that make my heart sing. They are the ones that helped me discover that I’m an artist. They led me to find my eye, and showed me I could help you Find Your Eye too. The One Life 2011 photography contest inspired me to look closely and find my best work, and I thought it would be nice to share with you here too.
I hope you enjoy my little trip down photographic memory lane over the next week. I’ll start my favorites off this weekend with a Venice theme, since that’s where we are right now.
I’ll pop in with new stuff when I can. Have a great weekend!
Beautiful image. Enjoy your weekend Kat.
I love your images. This one is so serene and peaceful.
Have a wonderful weekend.
My heart weeps that you are leaving. I have so enjoyed living vicariously through your fantastic photos.
Reviewing your favorite photos will probably bring tears to my eyes too, but I know I'll enjoy all the beautiful images. Have fun on your farewell tour!
enjoy Venice, lucky you!
Have a safe trip!! :):)
A particularly beautiful image Kat. Don't know how you find time to blog at all with so much happening for you. Enjoy Venice… wish I was there.
Aaah – Venice! Nothing more beautiful or romantic than Venice at night!
Wonderful shot, Kat. Enjoy this visit to Venice (how could you not?), but remember that just because you won't be living in Italy for now doesn't mean it won't remain with you always—and that you won't be back! Meanwhile, I'm really looking forward to this next week's photos.
This is a beautiful picture. I love how romantic Venice is. Have a safe trip back.
Have a wonderful weekend Kat.
Have a good trip back here.
All the best to you kat during these final days in Italy!
I *love* this image Kat – it's breathtaking!!
Hope your last trip to the city you loved went well – thinking about you as you prepare to move back! xx
I love this one. The light draws you in!
Good luck with the move 🙂
