The View from the Accademia Bridge


Venice, Italy, June 1989. I photograph the Grand Canal as I stand on the Accademia Bridge. The church on the right is the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute. (See also here.)

Those motoscafi in the foreground offer a sweet ride.

Venice, Italy, January 1984. This is the view that I saw most evenings, when I rode the motonave from Venice to my home on the Lido.

Venice, Italy, October 29, 1983. This is the view I saw each morning when I stepped off the vaporetto at the San Marco stop.
