A clear November night in St. Mark's Square, Venice. An ultra-wide

lens is the only way to capture this unusual space. Thanks for

looking and for comments.

Matt,

 

In the fall of 1981, at a table under the canopy on the right, I enjoyed a couple of beers with my PA and Oral Surgeon from the USS Nimitz the night that Anwar Sadat was assasinated. The next day I was in Egypt awaiting his funeral. This is a beautiful image and immediately placed me back in the scene. Venice was enchanting with so many great photo ops. Nice work and thanks for the memories!

 

Regards,

 

Dick

Thanks, Richard! Here's another shot from just minutes later, taken from underneath that very canopy. A string quartet was playing waltzes for the coffee drinkers.

That's the place...I have a whole set of slides taken with my Canon A1 from that trip. Makes me want to pull them out for another look. Thanks Matt!
