Venezia . . . mezzanotte


My favorite campo in Venice: Campo Santa Margherita, where
 the students hang out—and the place that stays awake (this shot was
taken around midnight) while the rest of this early-to-bed city sleeps.
Your drink (usually a spritz) is served in a plastic cup,
so you can take it outside the minuscule (as most are) bar.


And here's my friend Pierre, from
Venice Daily Photo, who was 
ordering me a spritz a l'Aperol at Caffé 
when I took this shot.  I was so happy to 
finally meet this gregarious blogger—and his 
beautiful and charming girlfriend, Isabelle!

  1. “Brrr,” I was thinking. Then I noticed that I didn’t notice any white puffs of breath condensation. Can’t be that cold.

    Nice Christmas colors, again.

    It’s great that you could meet Pierre. I had wondered about his lack of comments on these Venice photos, so close to him, but all is well.

  2. Gee, at first I thought it was a film shoot (see mine today). Chilly, but fun.

  3. Wow! Great for you to meet the famous Pierre, and vice versa!

    I'm staying so close to that Campo for 6 weeks, should rejuvinate me, I reckon.

  5. How cool is that Alexa!
    You got to meet a blogger from Italy!
    Did you love speaking to him in Italian?
    It must have been a thrill for both of you.
    I love your festive banner shot.
