Pics of my Venice trip

So I promised I'd share some pics of my vacation. And I made a lot this time. Mainly because when we got to Venice I had the idea of not running through with the rest of the tourist throng but instead board one of the bus boats and drive along the Canale Grande and have a look at the sights from the water. I chose some different images to give an impression to those who have never been to / have never seen pics of Venice.

TSW designers, feel free to pirate these images ;)

San Pietro church, in the East of Venice. This wasn't taken from the bus boat.
Image

That's a view from the San Elena quarter (East), looking West into the city. We boarded the bus boat there and went West.
Image

From the bus boat now, apporaching the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute. I chose this pic because you can see some "traffic" here, too.
Image

One of the houses there. I took tons of these photos because the houses look so impressive (if they're not looking run-down and shabby, which is about the other 50%):
Image

This one I just had to get for the TSW fans. Welcome to the Ca'D'Oro bus boat stop:
Image

Of course I was in Venice as the ambassador of GSP :D (Pic taken on the ferry, the bus boats are a lot more crowded!)
Image

And finally, after about 8 hours of touring Venice on boat and on feet, we got to see a sundown over Venice too:
Image

I hope you liked the pictures! There's more, if you're interested ;)

Looks interesting and you've got a bit of a wolverine look going on there.

Venice looks lovely in your photos.

Pretty pictures! Did you sneak a peek under all the water, looking for submerged libraries and secret council chambers? There does appear to be an awful lot of water there to hide things under.

And seriously, you could go to Starbucks just to get someone to call you "Logan" and see who flips out.

The pics of Venice are really beautiful! Some day I hope that I can get there. In the 4th pic down you call it a "house". Do you mean that is actually a private residence? That is quite impressive looking as you said.

Also I'm also jumping on the Wolverine bandwagon. I thought it was just because I have been viewing so many cosplay pics lately that I was seeing "characters" everywhere. Good to know I'm not alone in that.

This particular one isn't a private residence, if I remember correctly. However, there are several smaller ones with similar look which indeed are private.

Thanks for all the Wolverine comments! I'm taking these as compliments, you know ;)

Now is the point in the thread where someone with photoshop skills posts an edited version of Krieg's pic, and his arms have wolvie claws now. :nod:
