[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is not the most photogenic picture in the world but I thought it would be interesting to post with a few comments.

This of course is a cannel in Venice. As you can see the ordinary things in life are going on-the people on the walk, the boat in the cannel, etc.. But the interesting thing is that the boat is hauling sewage plant byproducts out of the city. You can imagine what a problem this must be to dispose of this sort of thing from a place that is built on pilings in the middle of the ocean!

I know most photos of Venice show the beautiful cannels, bridges, gondolas with good looking men rowing them and etc.. So I thought it would be an interesting idea to show how this part of the world lives. Hope it is of interest to you.

Hello Fred.
An interesting scene with great DOF.
It is so different from the touristy post card scenes. But life must go on and you have captured such a moment.Well done.
TFS
Best wishes from Australia.
Robert

Hi Fred
You are absolutely right!
We pay well too little attention to problems eating put or world and planet.
BTW, your picture is quite good anyway.
All the best.
Regards,
George
