A quite morning on a canal in Dorsoduro finds walkers strolling along the fondamenta (canal walkway). The fondamenta serve as foundations for the ancient buildings of Venice.

    You captured a gorgeous sunlight colour and I love the greens and browns near the bottom of the canal walls!

    The golden light casts a wonderful spell on this early morning Venetian scene. Makes me long to be there again.

    It seems to me that Dorsoduro is less visited by the tourists who come to Venice. It is a pity because it has a special air, a wonderful light at the sunset and nice buildings. I remember when I was there, a huge cruise ship was entering the port and the people stayed there, waving:)
