Sometimes wide vistas describe a scene best, and sometimes the character and beauty is in the detail. Both have their merits. There are wide views in the previous pages, and some shots of details. On this and the following pages I have concentrated on the finer points hat make Venice.I always watch the changing aspects as I pass through a place, noting any tiny features which catch my eye, and to me give reason why things are as they are. The workmanship of sculptors, stonemasons, carpenters, boat-makers, painters and glass-blowers have all had a hand in creating Venice. Venice wouldn't be Venice without them.
This section gives my eye's view on the results of their crafts and skills. Well done and thank you to them all..
