Grand Canal
Here's a view of the Grand Canal from the Rialto Bridge.  To the right is a gondola station, and to the left you can see the Vaporetto just leaving the Vaporetto stop (yellow structures).  Vaporettos are waterbuses that are the main form of transportation in Venice (other than walking!).

Rialto Bridge
The famous Rialto Bridge (which doubles as a shopping center these days!)

fish market
A vendor at the outdoor fish market not far from the Rialto Bridge, and just a few minutes walk from my hotel


St. Mark's Square
Saint Mark's Square - the big attraction of Venice.  During the day the pigeons outnumber the people!  To the right is the tower called the Campanile, and straight ahead is the Basilica San Marco. 

St. Mark's orchestra
An outdoor cafe in St. Mark's Square.  The orchestra plays in the evening.
