European Highlights: Venice

Venice, Italy. Floating / sinking, let's hope it sticks around for a good while longer. Full of history, rich in tradition. It was funny as I was wandering about these age old cities, wondering what the streets would have been like in an earlier time. Street stalls, fashion and now the modern equivalent. Gypsies were certainly common, I found it some times a little hard finding something a little unique, handmade from a local. Built upon tradition and not mass-produced rubbish. Apart from that, I enjoyed being there, in a place completely different to anywhere I have ever been and for me that was enough. More than sufficient, happily enjoying the company of my fellow travellers and time taking photographs.

"I don't often visit Venice, but when I do, I only shoot black & white film." I was kind of running out. Fortunately in Prague, I managed to pick some more up :)

Waterway. What a way to go, by boat.

St Mark's Square, which floods during the day. At around lunch the sea started making it's way through the drains. "Opposite Drains". Odd.

European Highlights: London

The flight to Heathrow via Hong Kong was the longest I had ever experienced. And, it certainly won't be my last. I love travel, I was so amazed by the unique flavours each city I've been to so far had on offer. Countries that are in some way related have a rich mixture of culture, which *but not limited to - include food, architecture are probably the most noticeable.

European Highlights: Berlin

Another Highlight, Berlin. Rich in culture and deep in history. Berlin today is a thriving city, with hints of it's not-so good past, elements of modernism, an ever growing creative scene of fashion, photography, street art, lifestyle.
