| Found these ancient weapons in Venice's Correr Museum (where you're not allowed to take photos—ha!). Hard to tell here, but they're probably 10 or 12 feet long—deadly but still, somehow, beautiful. [See more shadow shots here.] |

Oh, you devil...maybe they slice off body parts from sneaky photographers... I'd better watch out, too.
ReplyDeleteMost certainly beautiful in addition to the dangerous look! Interesting ironwork on the tops of the blades.
ReplyDeleteGlad the guards didn't spot you ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's intriguing that old weapons were a work of art as well as being something to deter and possibly kill people with.
Great shot!! They are very interesting weapons. A bit decrorative but deadly too, and make cool shadows to boot.
ReplyDeleteI too like snapping those sneaky photos!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Alexa, you are officially part of the international stealth photo team... please bring wine and I'll get the fromage - hah!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you scoff at the "no photo" rules!
Bisous,
Genie
Deadly looking blades!
ReplyDeleteA PARFAIT DAY
A seeker of shadows one day
Did trip as she went on her way;
She picked herself up
And dipped from a cup
Of shadowy lemon parfait!
