    Venice is one of the finest pearls of Italy and a delight for photographers. It is a place I love where I go as often as possible so I love this town. I look forward to following and thank you for your message on my site. It goes straight to my heart.

    They look nice together!

    And speaking about symbolism, yes, pigeons belong also here and also carnival masks.
