Fondamenta Dei Schiavi is the front docks of Venice, with the Doge’s Palace.
I think I should crop the photo though, it has too much sky in it. I posted it mostly to show my dad how it works.

This is a picture I took just before xmas. We had a period of freezing cold weather, but with no snow, and everything was coated with ice crystals. I spotted this twig when I was walking the dog, and went back the next day with my camera. I didn’t feel particurlary bright standing there, taking pictures of a twig, but I like the result. I must admit I played with it a little in Lightroom to get the right contrast and brightness, but it made it all so much better.
