Sunsets
by antistar
There's something about the mix of acres of water, innumerable beautiful buildings, and a soft mediteranean air that gives Venice some of the most consistently amazing sunsets I have ever seen in Europe. One of my earliest visions of Venice was from a painting my brother made from a visit there as a teenager, one that has hung in my father's home longer than I can remember. The painting was a view of the Church of Zitelle seen from the promenade in front of St Mark's Square silouetted against a deep red sunset.
What must be nearly a quarter of a century later I come to the city myself and see the exact same sunset from the exact same spot. Not only that but there were grand sunsets each and every one of the five nights I was in the city. You can see this view of the Church of Zitelle at sunset on my main Venice page, but there were a few more shots attached here.
Rialto Bridge
by Aggeliki
The Rialto stone bridge, 48 m long and 22 m wide, offers one of the most beautiful views of the Grand Canal, Venice’s main water thoroughfare, with an uninterrupted series of palaces and churches facing the canal along its entire 4-km length.
strolling along alleys!

I like those alleys so much! Taking boat is a way to experience Venice, but walking in alleys can bring different feelings.
Those alleys are just like a net, if you don't see the map from time to time, you are easily to get lost :). Well, it's also an interesting experience.
I like walking in narrow alleys without any destination. Many wonderful places just come out one by one along the road...small bakery, lovely Cafe, old decoration shop...I found one hand-made paper shop. They are still making paper in traditional way and style. So beautiful! You can see many nice letter paper, note book, cards...One card I bought there is still laying in my drawer now, beautiful as my memories....
Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore
by sim1
There is a beautiful church on the little island of San Giorgio Maggiore, which was designed by the great Renaissance architect Palladio. Unfortunately I didn't see the church itself, but only this view from a distance. There is so much to see in Venice, that it is impossible to see it all.
A nice thing to do is to take the elevator (for 2.50€) to the top of the belfry. The view from here must be great. You can see the greenery of the island itself, the lagoon, and the Doge's Palace across the way.
St.Marc's Dome / Marcusdom...

St.Marc's Dome / Marcusdom
the church may be visited at certain times free of charge, but to enter the 'Tesoro' (tresury) or the roof with the famous 4 horses, you have to pay en extra fee.
I took this picture from a balcony, just behind the 4 horses.
