Venetian Poise


Venetian Poise

08.07.10. When travelling abroad, we all try to find the photo which epitomises the character of the place. With Venice we think of Gondolas, the canals and the history. Here we have a window with someone looking out protected from the heat. The colour of the curtain shouts Venetian, the figure I think is female judging by the thinness of the arms and the way they are crossed shows an understated elegance. It may be that she is simply passing the time by watching the tourists go by, or she may just be observing someone special as they leave...
