Venice notes: Patterns in a picture II

http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2006/11/patterns-in-picture-ii.html

Venice notes: Cozy refuge

http://venicenotes.blogspot.com/2007/10/cozy-refuge.html

Monday, October 15, 2007. Certainly Venice is beautiful, but the unusual feeling. It has, for today's visitor, is that of one big home. Well, the whole world comes to visit, to take a breath, within this ideal cozy refuge. And it's ok that everyone comes here.
