This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Road."
The last time we did this theme, I showed you a charming little NC roadside attraction, the folk art village of Shangri-La.
This time I'm going to Venice. One of the many things I love about that city is the fact that there aren't any cars or roads (as we usually think of them); instead, there are canals (roads for boats).
You can find more Photo Hunters and join the hunt here.
Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.

What a unique and cool take on the theme :) I would love to live in a place where I could travel to and fro by boat. Well at least try it for a little while :) Happy weekend and photo hunt!

Yes, the waterways of Venice. No cars there is great although it would be nice if people picked up after their dogs.
Happy weekend to you.

Love the idea of canals as roads for boats -- which, of course, they are. And the photos are really so very lovely. :)

Brilliant choice for the theme this week.
I'm hoping all is ok for you! Just saw the terrible destruction on the news in No. Carolina.

Thanks Girasoli. It was a scary weekend. I came through the storm just fine and so did my family; others were not so lucky.
It was very windy and loud as it passed over my house, but it went by very fast and didn't do any damage. I lost satellite TV for a while but that was it.
Thanks for thinking of me!

I am so glad you and your family are all ok. How scary! I would have been freaked out. So sad for so many others.

Hi Annie, I just read your comments and had no idea that a tornado had touched down in North Carolina. I looked up an article to learn more about what had happened and I am so sorry for all of those who were affected by this tragedy...It must have been so scary. I'm glad to hear that you and your family are okay. Take care and my thoughts are with everyone there in North Carolina.

Thanks to both of you.
It's even scarier as the story unfolds. They now say that there were 63 tornado touchdowns in North Carolina on Saturday afternoon. NC has an occasional isolated tornado but to have that many in such a short time is so unusual. I feel very lucky but so bad for those who lost their homes and loved ones.
Thanks for thinking of me and checking in!
