Venice. 29 October 2018

Day 1 is a set of pictures taken in and around Venice, Italy on Monday 29th October 2018. On the day we arrived Venice was hit by some of the worst flooding in over a decade reaching almost 3 foot deep in places, especially around the St Marks Square area. These pictures were taken around the airport and hotel areas as they were the only areas reachable on the first day.

They were taken using either my Sony phone, Amazon tablet or Nikon d330 SLR camera. The pictures can be seen below or on Clickasnap where they are full size, resolution and un-watermarked.

Taken at the Venice airport boat moorings waiting for my transfer to the city.

This was my first proper land based view of Venice, taken from the boat landing area near
St Marks Square looking across the water to the church of San Giorgio Maggiore.

Looking down from my hotel room at San Marco Palace to the flooded courtyard below.

Flooding outside Doge's Palace at the entrance to St Mark's Square. The water got deeper than
this crossing the square, reaching chest height on me before I successfully reached my hotel.

The hotel steps.

I took this shortly after take off from Manchester Airport looking out across the Peak
District. The sun had not long since risen. At a guess I think the plane would have been
somewhere between Marple Bridge and New Mills.

The Hotel Steps again, looking up towards the sky light.

Looking down towards the Alps Mountain range somewhere near the borders of Switzerland,
Liechtenstein, Austria and Italy.

The rooftops of Venice viewed from my hotel room at San Marco Palace.

Thanks for looking and please take a moment to share and follow me on social media.
