Colour photo taken looking up into a tree, a tangle of branches heaving with small bright pink blossoms. Clear blue sky behind.

Lamplight #FensterFreitag #DailyVenice #Venice

Colour photo of the two bottom storeys of a house abutting a canal. The bottom storey has four small square windows with vertical bars across them, two either side of an arched doorway which is covered by wooden planks, the lower ones of which have been worn away by the tidal water. The upper storey has five rectangular windows, the outside four with closed brown wooden shutters, and the central one with one shutter open, revealing the warm glow of a lamp inside the room. The building has sand-coloured plaster at the top, which has fallen away below to reveal dusky red brick work which gets deeper in colour the further down the wall you go. The water in front is an intense bottle-green colour, and there are two pale blue-grey wooden mooring posts either side of the boarded-up doorway. All the colours in the picture are quite muted and cold, apart from the orangey light from the half-open window.

Spider-Man Far From Home #DailyVenice #Venice #Venezia

A clothes line is suspended across a narrow sunny Venetian street, strung with various items of laundry in muted colours. In the middle of the line hangs a Spider-Man onesie, upside down, as if Spidey was hanging on by his feet and waving his arms in the air. It looks most incongruous in every way.

Colour photo of the windowless side of a yellow building, with a gutter pipe in the shape of a big black Y running down the middle of it. The not-quite-as-black-but-almost shadow of a tree with dense intricate branches and what looks like a couple of birds nests falls across the entirely of the wall, the chaotic and very organic lines of the tree contrasting with the straight lines of the guttering. Bright blue sky above.

Closeup detail of a bit of a metal lamppost, which takes up the right hand two thirds of the frame. The metal is faintly ridged, and was originally bottle green, but there is only a small patch of that colour visible, the rest being stained and rusted and corroded in shades ranging from cream to ochre to the colour of dried blood. In the background, pale blue canal water under a pale blue sky, with a low seafront skyline of buildings behind and an out of focus small white motorboat in front.

First wisteria of the spring! #Bloomscrolling #DailyVenice #SmallCheeringThings

A strand of wisteria vine growing along a wire support in front of a sunny terracotta-red brick wall. The long thin clusters of buds hang down from the vine like a garland of Christmas tree ornaments, and cast their shadows on the wall behind. A few of the buds are just coming into pale purple bloom.

Almost spring #SilentSunday #Bloomscrolling #DailyVenice #SmallCheeringThings

Colour photo. A gently curved branch of winter jasmine arches from the bottom centre of the frame to the top right corner. There are two bright lemon-yellow flowers in full bloom, eagerly drinking in the wintery sunshine, and a couple of closed buds. In the background there is a wall made of rust-brown and muted orange brick. The image feels quietly hopeful.

Colour photo of a big arched window, just off centre of the frame. It has a quite plain white marble surround, and a very ornate metal scrollwork grille in front of it. Most of the photo is quite dingy in colour, the grille is dusty charcoal, the wall it is set in is stained and mottled grey and smoke coloured plaster, but there are three little spots of colour - two intrepid little bright green plants, one halfway up the left side and the other in the lower right corner of the window, and a small patch of bright terracotta brick in the upper right corner of the photo where a patch of plaster has fallen off the wall.

Good advice #DailyVenice #Venice #Graffiti #SmallCheeringThings

A triangular warning sign indicating a slippery surface, showing a figure mid-slip, one leg on the floor and the other raised, arms flailing. Someone has added googly eyes to the figure's head, and written "go dance" in black capital letters on the side. The sign is attached to a metal pole, and the top of a red circular sign can be seen below. Blue sky behind.

Gate #DailyVenice #TextureTuesday #Venice

Closeup colour photo of an old and unbelievably rusty metal gate, with the broken lock panel on the left of the frame, and four irregularly spaced bars to the right. The metal is entirely covered in pastel-red rust densely spotted with ochre, almost as if it had been covered with glue and then had sand flung at it by the handful. It is in bright sun, leaving the spaces between the bars in deep black shadow.

Colour photo. The early morning sun catching the top of a stone garden wall, covered in moss. There is a thin bottle green cable strung along the wall, which runs along the bottom of the frame, on a slight right-rising diagonal angle, which adds a subtle counterpoint to the horizontal line of the top of the wall. There are eight little plants growing vertically up from the top of the wall with space between each of them: thin fragile little stalks in the palest green, with the occasional proto-leaf sticking out from the sides, culminating in unopened buds. Behind and above is pale blue sky with some white splashes of cloud. The image feels spring-like and hopeful, the little plants, like all of us, reaching joyfully for the sun.

Still life with umbrella #DailyVenice #Venice #Venezia #NightPhotography #Photography

Colour photo, taken late at night. On the edge of a stone pavement abutting a wide canal, there is a green-stemmed ornate metal streetlight on the right, but the frame is cropped below the actual lamps, so that it lights the scene from above but we can't see the source. Mirroring the vertical line of the streetlight, there is on the left a wooden mooring post, and in front of it two rubbish bins, with black metal frames. A discarded bright red umbrella pokes out of the rightmost bin, curved handle up, and its ruffled skirt partially open, so that the light from the street lamp shines down into it, making it glow from within. In the background, the water of the canal is green shading to black in the distance, and beyond we can see some lit up buildings on the other side.

Rainy day today #Bloomscrolling #DailyVenice #FleurisTonFil #Blommastodon

Colour photo taken looking through the window of a florist, of some of warm pink many-petalled flowers (I'm still useless at recognising types of flowers, I can only apologise). The window is covered with raindrops, and is slightly misted up from the inside, giving a soft-focus Vaseline-on-the-lens feeling to the picture.

Colour photo of the outside wall of a church, made of a hodgepodge of ancient ochre, sand and sepia coloured brick. The bricks are very small and unevenly worn, so they look a bit like pointillist dots rather than geometric rectangles. Running down the right of the frame is a long very narrow arched window, divided into small squares by a metal grille and blocked behind so that it is solid rust-red. Along the top of the frame, a wide strip of ornamentation, which looks like a band of brown lace. A grey-brown juvenile seagull is in flight almost in the centre of the frame, and in the strong sunlight you can make out its shadow below.

Colour photo, taken near surface-level, of a little copse of wooden mooring posts emerging from the water of a canal. The white paint on the posts is chipped and flaking, and their lower extremities are slick with dark green seaweed up to the tide line. The bright sun catching on the ripples on the bottle-green water makes it look like a pane of shattered glass.

Black and white photo of an elderly gentleman with his back to the photographer, wearing a smart black overcoat and a grey cap, walking with a cane down a stone-flagged street. In the wall which runs down the right hand side of the image, is a window with a grate in front of it, and three narrow doorways, like streaks of black in the white wall, and the gentleman seems to form part of the pattern. On the storey above are some terrace balustrades with plants clambering over them. The street is in shade, but there is a slash of sunlight just in the top left hand corner. The mood of the picture is quite sombre, and although the gentleman might seem to be quite a lonely figure, he walks straight-backed and with purpose, and not without hope.

The sky and the light making Venice look even more like a film set than usual today #FensterFreitag #DailyVenice #Venice

Colour photo of the upper two storeys of an imposing white marble building. The top floor has four square windows, three of them covered by mahogany-brown shutters, and the one second from the left with the shutters open to display a ruched cream-coloured curtain. The floor below clearly has very high ceilings - the five arched windows are tall and thin, the four on the left shuttered, and the one on the right - which comes after a symmetry-breaking window-sized marble panel in the facade - is half-covered by a curtain, the glass below reflecting misty grey. The building is surrounded by clear blue sky and fluffy white cotton wool clouds, and the perspective of the photo and the very flat light make it look unreal, like a painted theatre backdrop or a movie set.

Black and white photo of a gondola making its stately way down the Canal Grande. The photographer is standing on a stone pavement, the edge of which is just visible at the bottom of the image, and the gondola is floating past almost close enough to touch, and spans the length of the frame. There is a wide marble pillar just right of the centre of the frame, bisecting the view of the boat with a thick black line, leaving the gondolier mid-punt on the right, and a passenger and the long elegant prow of the boat on the left. In the background on the opposite side of the canal, majestic white buildings with lots and lots of little windows.

Red #TextureTuesday #DailyVenice #Photography

Colour photo, taken looking down onto a bucket, encrusted inside and out with dried-up white and grey paint, currently about a quarter full of dark red almost blood-like liquid paint, which has splashed up the sides. The bucket stands in the upper right corner of the frame, on a grey utilitarian-looking industrial carpet. The sharp black shadow of the edge of a table falls along the left hand side of the image.

All that remains is art #SilentSunday #DailyVenice #Venice #Art

Colour photo of a dingy but sun-drenched sand-coloured wall, peeling away at the bottom to expose patches of terracotta bricks. A corroded black drainpipe runs up the very left hand edge of the image, a sagging cable and its shadow festoons the top, and the shadow of a long-armed streetlight slices in to the middle of the frame from the top right corner. The bottom right quadrant of the frame, someone has drawn a bobbly-topped cloud-like shape in thick rust-brown paint on the wall, which disappears into the flaking brickwork at the bottom. In the very centre of the frame, a long word has at some point been graffitied, but it has faded at the edges and much of the plaster crumbled away, so all that can clearly be seen are three capital letters spelling "art".
