Thursday Challenge—"best" (#2)

Last week I chose an image of Paris, the
best place for me.  This time, it's
my second-best place—Venice, of course.
I think the best times of day to explore
la Serenissima are very early (when I took this shot) 
and very late, because that's when 
the city really is serene.
