In front of the church of San Giorgio Maggiore.

San Giorgio Maggiore was designed by Andrea Palladio, and the views from its campanile are nothing less than spectacular.

San Giorgio keeps watch over the Bacino San Marco, the space between the island of San Giorgio Maggiore and San Marco.

San Marco is about a mile away, illuminated by the weak November rays of the sun.

From me and a beautiful little old lady, found at the Zattere, Venezia.
