This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Free Week (Share Any Photo)."
No surprise that I'm going to share a few favorite scenes from Venice.
I love this cathedral (Basilica di San Marco)~
I love the leaning bell towers~
And I love the hidden courtyards~
You can find more Photo Hunters and join the hunt here.
Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.

Hi Annie, Excellent choices for Free week! I love everything about Venice and in your photos you highlighted the very special reasons why I feel the same way about this beautiful city. I love the moon and suttle glow in your 1st photo of San Marco, the beautiful leaning tower and reflections in your second and the charm and vibrant colors in your third...sigh (I miss Venice)!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Love that last photo. The first two are quite grand but the simplicity of the third one is what makes it so beautiful.
My photohunt entry is up!

These are gorgeous pictures of Venice. I love the depth of the color and the subject. I can almost hear the echoing of footsteps along the narrow alleys - great post and thanks for sharing.

Annie: Super photos. Do you just explore when you're in Venice, go with a route, a combination of both - Annie, the explorer? menehune

Thanks for your comments everyone. I really enjoyed our "Anything Goes" free week.
Menehune, I roam from church to church (and get lost a lot!).
LifeRamblings, I'm so glad you are going to Venice next year and look forward to seeing your photos.

The light on all three photos is amazing. I miss not having a trip to Italy in the near future. Been feeling very Italy-sick lately. sigh

Hi Annie,
I have only just found your blog and I will immediately add it to my blog list as I am a dreamer... dreaming of living or at least visiting for awhile... Venice of course... I look forward to looking thru your posts. All of your gorgeous shots are why I want to go to Venice... the colors, hidden courtyards, reflections in water... magic. Beautiful blog. Carol
