[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Gondolas are hand made using 8 different types of wood (fir, oak, cherry, walnut, elm, mahogany, larch and lime) and are composed of 280 pieces. The oars are made of beech wood. The left side of the gondola is made longer than the right side. This asymmetry causes the gondola to resist the tendency to turn toward the left at the forward stroke. It is a common misconception that the gondola is a paddled vessel when the correct term is rowed i.e. "I rowed my gondola to work".

dear Francis,
this is like an excellent abstract painting.
colors and composition are very artistic.
I especially like these warping effects on the water reflection,
it makes the real view changing to essential space of visual beautifulness.
thank you,
Akihisa

Ciao Francis Xavier! Very sophisticated art work. Perfect capture and exposure. Splendid effect. Superb shot. Good frame. Well done!

A most engaging and absorbing abstract-like composition Francis. I had to look longer than usual. Venice is indeed full of photo ops. This is a keeper for sure. A mighty fine and attractive posting. Congratulations.
