Venice, wedded to the water, with its gondola traffic, and buildings pink and gold in reflected light from water streets, is a city beautiful.
Here, under a Venice-blue sky, are the Rialto Bridge, the Palazzo Grassi, the Piazza San Marco with the Basilica of St. Mark, the Doge's Palace, the Academia di Belle Arti.
M. Sasek goes gondolier as he captures the delicate shades, gaiety and rare romantic charm that is Venice.
"Abandon wheels, all ye who enter here - This is Venice!"
