This city totally draws you in, it’s almost overwhelming….there’s so much to look at and observe all at the same time.  Sometimes it seems like the only way to truly appreciate a place with so much meticulous detail and distraction is to focus on the macro level and just what’s in front of you. Even better yet is to focus on the simple and yet sublime – in looking more carefully and at the very small details,  you can start to understand and see how truly exceptional the city is.

 

What to see in Venice, Italy

 

Venice - the small details, Travel Photo Mondays #33

Many little details attract me and draw my immediate attention when I’m walking down some of the quiet alleyways, away from all the madhem and bustle of the all the tourists pressing to find the top attractions to the city. But for me these little impressions that draw my eyes to focus on them for a moment makes me appreciate the special things that no-one else sees while touring the city or doing some day trips from Venice to explore.

Here are some things along my walk that drew me in for a closer look:
