Favorite Photo Friday: Getting Up at First Light
For my favorite shot for this week's Favorite Friday, I'm choosing this one. I took it about a month ago, but it brings back SO many memories of Venice, a place I went back to in June after having experienced it first many years ago with the love of my life. There's a story here, one that has nothing to do with my current single-ness. It does relate, however, to my current affair with my Nikon. I'm not the world's biggest fan of getting up before sunrise. When the light began to seep in around the edges of the shutters at my windows in a faint blue-gray, I thought I could cheat and snap a few shots leaning out my 4th story window so I could stay in my nightie and wake up only a little, just enough to point and shoot a couple of times and then go back to bed and sleep til 9 or so. Spirit had other ideas. When I saw the light, the stillness of the water, the cloud formations, the mere handful of people moving along the canals. a totally unpeopled Rialto B
