Does anyone know what these are for? They were placed over doorways of various businesses in Venice.
Well, I imagine that they are crocodiles (alligators being North American, I think), but see http://www.statesman.com/travel/content/life/stories/other/07/07/0707greig.html for one suggestion of what they are...

Wait, you posted this in the Venice, California, forum...did you mean to put it in the Venice, Italy, forum?
Bill
Bill, I think s/he is talking about Venice, California, so they probably are alligators.
Could be Venice, Florida. Lots of alligators there.
Well, then, it's all the more amusing that someone has gone around placing pink crocodiles over doorways in Venice, Italy...coincidence??? ;-)

Wondering the same thing but for Venice Italy - as Bill says, they are all over the place in the Italian Venice
My favorite thing about the Venice Beach Boardwalk is the people who come to see it and the people who earn their living here. It's so diverse and a friendly environment. The artwork is not impressive, the wares are cheap but for the mere price of parking, you can spend 2-4 hours easily being amused and entertained. No fond memories I can think of. Just always enjoy my visits and each visit has always been different.
All over the boardwalk are cutie dogs, like these. Yes, the chihuahua does have a red sweater on ! There is even a stand that sells doggie sweaters at Venice Beach. Pups make up a good fraction of the weekend population at Venice Beach!
There is an interesting mix of palm trees and architecture at Venice. A little bit of NY, a little of Spain, some Florida type trees, and mix this with all the people and you get this diverse community here.
Visit the Boardwalk! What a trip to see all the street vendors and artisans. Good prices in the shops. Interesting people, sights and sounds. It's kind of a toss-up between the beach, and the boardwalk. As far as memories go, I'll remember the boardwalk longer though, because it's just neat.
Wherever you go in Venice, there is a colorful sense of style. It is displayed on people, buildings , along the streets and indeed at the beach. Here is a shot of an artistic chair especially for a puppy at Big Daddy's a pizzeria along the boardwalk.
