A Weekend In Venice

Canals, quiet lanes, and winter night light in Venice.

Venice after dark is less about grand vistas than pools of light. A crescent moon hangs over a domed roof; decorations lead toward a small bridge; a gondola crosses black water with San Giorgio Maggiore beyond. The Bridge of Sighs and narrow lanes emerge from deep shadow, while lit windows repeat across a canal. Winter gives the city’s colour and reflections space to breathe.
