From the Archives - Fantastical Venice

Gondola docks near the Grand Canal, Venice, Italy  © Doug Hickok

 Venice, especially at night, seems like a dream world, a magical world of color and light and imagination. One feels transported to another time, one that is out of time with one's own, yet vaguely familiar. It's little wonder that so many writers, painters and composers have found inspiration in fantastical Venice.
