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.

Here’s another one from Venice. On the last day of my stay there, I got up really early, and even though it hurt it was totally worth it. First of all, the light was just perfect. But you had to be quick, as the sun rose so fast. Second, there were no tourists. The only people I saw was locals opening their shops and heading for work, a couple of people leaving for an early flight, and other photographers.

Another lion in Venice. This one i located just outside the Doge’s Palace, on the Piazzetta San Marco. I got up early one day, chugged a lot of coffee, and trekked down to the Piazza San Marco to take shoot some photos as the sun rose. I got several good pictures out of it, might post some more later.

This is a picture I took in Venice this fall. Since Venice’s patron is St. Mark the Evangelist the city is virtually littered in statues of lions. This was an ageing stone lion protruding from a wall. As I walked past I had to take a few shots, and I’m pleased with the result.
