Watching the boat traffic in Venice is one of the chief occupations of tourists; it's so interesting to be in a place that has no vehicular traffic & no roads - only canals & boats! The traffic seems chaotic at times, but we never saw any accidents....

Remember the good old days when the pilot or navigator would chime in from time to time to tell you where you were and what you were seeing out the windows? On our trans-Atlantic flight from Pittsburgh to Venice, the 767 did not have seatback maps, nor did we ever hear from the front deck. Perhaps they had the plane on auto pilot while they napped...
When we were about an hour away from Venice we had a spectacular view of The Alps, though I'm only guessing at the map placement.

What a thrill to have an stunning sky on the evening of our visit to Venice. I knew I would not be back again for a sunset opportunity (at least during this trip), and it was so satisfying to be standing there on the bridge composing one image after another. It's far too crowded for a tripod (and I had only brought the gorillapod), so I rested my elbows on the the stone cap at the top of the bridge to steady myself for a long series of images. In fact, I noticed a day later that my elbow was bruised and sore.... but it was worth it !
I replaced the original image with this one slightly straightened per several suggestions below; also cloned out a crane that was marring the pink sky.

Placement on the map is just a guess. I know we were strolling along the Dorsoduro (adjacent to the Guidecca Canal) after exiting the Vaporetto (water taxi) at the Zattere station. It's really easy to get lost in Venice. The "street signs" are faded signs on the corners of buildings and maps are really difficult to follow.
