[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A visit to Venice stands in a category of it's own. Taking pictures is not so easy as it seems as quite a high percentage of the crowd does it. And you also ask yourself whether the pictures from the previous visit or the one before are not enough? And how many campaniles do you really need?
This is one of the four horses above the entrance to St. Mark's Basilica. They were brought here from Constantinople in 1204 (an age in which the arts were developing in quite a different direction from these masterpieces of the Greco-Roman era). It is believed the horses are the work of Lysippus. Napoleon liked them so much he took them on a visit to Paris. The horses have been replaced by copies for preservation purposes.

Hello Tibi

In fact in Venice you find the more and beautiful beautiful architectures. Be in the human form as in other,
the addition of elements in the constructions is fantastic.
I imagine it all should be entirely beautiful this architecture.
Congratulations

Sérgio

Nicely done. You can always look for an alternative POV like this one.


TFS,
Pedro
