Gondolas and bridges, yes it's Venice of course. I had never been there before and the Doges city proved more of a delight than I had imagined. Our blogging trio went into camera overheating mode. Here's a selection of my best shots.Des gondoles et des ponts, oui c'est Venise bien sûr. Je n'y étais jamais allée et la cité des Doges a été encore plus magique que je ne l'imaginais. Les appareils photos de notre trio de blogueurs sont passés en mode surchauffe. Voici une sélection de mes meilleures prises.
Du rêve et du romantisme... tout simplement mythique et intemporel ;-)
ReplyDeleteHard to choose but I think the top one takes it, N. I like the "solidity" (not right word but..."presence" maybe???) of the water.
ReplyDeleteQue c’est beau ! Ca donne envie d’y retourner, n’est-ce pas ?
ReplyDeleteBlissful virtual tour. I am transported to a time of Venitian painters.
ReplyDeleteNathalie, these are simply gorgeous. The second one knocks me out, especially when I click to see the bigger version. It looks like you missed the worst of the flood. Was St. Mark's Square under water while you were there? I have very ford memories of Venice.
ReplyDeleteWell now i don't know. At first I was voting for the hunk in the last photo then I got a grip and decided the top one that 'roon liked. Love the color. But Bob's choice of the second in the monotones is great and I like the boats. Oh well let's just say you did a marvelous job capturing Venice and I hope there will be more tomorrow??

These photos makes me want to start painting again! Venice is definitely a place I would like to visit again one day!!
ReplyDeleteMême sans y avoir mis le moindre pied, que de souvenirs au moins cinématographiques !
ReplyDeleteTes photos sont très belles Nathalie, Tu n'as rien à envier à Peter. Venise est belle, y a pas !!!
ReplyDeleteSince Venice is sinking and the oceans are rising I would guess that this would not be the city one would want to retire in. Still, for those who enjoy lots of water everywhere it sure is number one. And the photos are exceptional.
ReplyDeleteElle est trop photogénique cette ville ! C'est pas drôle...
ReplyDeleteAh Venice - my favourite place...
ReplyDeleteLove them all - the first is such a beauty. I love also the one of all the gondalas moored (this is a scene you often see yet I think you've given it something different) the reflections, the angle. And so much water in the next - how high the water is - beautifully photographed.
As for the last one, what can I say - yes please. How delicious is HE!
Venise a été inventée par un(e) peintre ou un(e) photographe...au choix!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. What a great mini vacation.
ReplyDeleteVeinarde!!!
ReplyDeleteVisiter Venise et en plus en charmante companie!!
Tes photos donnent tres envie..
Such beautiful photos. I'd like to go back there one day.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection Nathalie - and the previous ones. Captures the changing moods and views of Venice very nicely!
ReplyDeleteTu as l'habitude de gérer la lumière très contrastée, bravo.
ReplyDeleteA seconde vue, l'eau qui me surprend, elle ne semble pas très... fluide, on dirait qu'elle est dure comme du verre ou figée comme du gel.
Sur le message précédent, j'aurais pu parler du Taj Mahal et de l'Inde... Je préfère me dire que je devrais retrouver mes godasses de rando en GORE-TEX®
:)
Magnifiques photos de Venise ,j'y suis allée il y a fort longtemps et rêve d'y retourner^....

ReplyDeleteUn beau complément aux photos de Peter et l'eau apporte une telle humeur à tes si belles prises de vue.
ReplyDeleteVous n'avez pas sorti l'APN en même temps sur un blog "peteresque" il y avait des stars en parapluie.
ReplyDeleteNote bien que certaine blogueuse est photogénique quelque soit le temps ; elle bonifie le pixel
quel charmeur ce bergson. :-)) Moi j'ai apprécié surtout les pompes que tu avais. est-ce que comme Jésus, tu as pu marché sur l'eau?
ReplyDeletePour ce qui est des photos du jour, j'apprécie particulièrement la dernière. Et le chapeau du monsieur. Il a aussi de belles pompes et je suis sûre que quand il sourit, il doit être beau comme un dieu, déjà que là, sans sourire, waoouuuuhhhh. :-)) Peter n'a pas été trop jaloux que tu prennes en photo ce bellâtre? :-) bises!
The first shot - too beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIl n'empêche que tes photos sont belles...
ReplyDeleteSooo wonderful! I especially love the evening shot of the gondolas, and the last shot. What total fun!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! Can't wait to visit next summer.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteHere from Peter's blog.
Your photos are so very enticing, each one is of class.
Remind me of my visit to Venice.
I think I have been to your blog earlier as well.
Wonderful photos. I've had a chance to visit Europe, but I've never been to Venice. Maybe some day...
ReplyDeleteFantastic! So glad you got there and you've "felt the magic". Is that gondolier out of Central Casting, or what!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't need to visit there now, I've seen it all! Fabulous photos again Nathalie but it seems so incongruous to me to see buildings rising out of the water. I can't quite get my head around it. I've always had a fear of drowning, even though I'm a strong swimmer, so perhaps that it is the reason.
ReplyDeleteDoes it smell? Surely all that decay can't smell good.
MB raves about the place but I've never wanted to go necessarily. It sounds like you enjoyed it though.
Wonderful pictures! Loved all them! Well done Nathalie!
ReplyDeleteNathalie c'est magnifique-les belles reflets de couleurs magiques de la vie dans les rueruisseau de la vie.
ReplyDeletemerci.
ne manque que l'odeur ! sourire - j'aime cette ville, et j'aimerais que les ordes de tourristes en soient dignes
ReplyDeleteLovely! I need to get there.
ReplyDeleteAwwww! Franchement ça fait plaisir aux yeux ces photos!
