I have walked alot again this week.
First I went towards the railway station in search of three churches but I actually visited five. One of them was the one featured in the book Miss Garnet's Angel. It was this book that gave me the inspiration to spend a period of time here - longer than a vacation. The Church was wonderful & in a very quiet Piazza. I had difficulty photographing the Church due too water levels.
I also have two books, one given to me by a lady I have been on the art study tours with & is Guide to Venetian Domestic Architecture. 12th to 15th century. The other book is called Hidden Venice.
I am visiting & photographing as many as possible. It is so interesting seeking them out & they take me down narrow calle's away from the tourists. It is great because they give walking a purpose & I look carefully for all these hidden gems.
I tick them off, make comments and am now keeping a photo log to remind me exactly where the all are.
I came home to take a phone call & then walked in the opposite direction, the sun came out & I have had a wonderful day. I finished off sitting on a bench on the Zattere people watching.
Who knows what more surprises I may discover?
