Description
The peristyle around Palazzo Ducale in Venice, Italy, where one finds tourists and locals alike – idling time, strolling, reading a book, or just resting. The colonnade, complete with rows of gothic columns and arches, the marble patterned floor, and the grilled arch windows render an unusual depth to the scene.

Description
Gondolas line the bustling Riva Degli Schiavoni, the most popular promenade in Venice, waiting for some tourists to take them out and give them a chance to relive the glory of the yesteryears. More and more tourists favor the inexpensive vaporettes to the pricey gondolas, leaving more and more gondolas moored to the shore - except for an occasional romanticized gondola ride.

Description
Parco della Rimembranza is surely a hidden jewel in Sant’ Elena quarter of Venice. This calm park with lush vegetation, red inviting benches, and tree-lined pathways with an occasional Venetian out for a walk, poses a strong contrast to the tourist-ridden hustle-bustle of San Marco.

Description
The third largest cathedral in the world, simply called "the Duomo", this imposing structure of marble is one of the most flamboyant and grand piece of Gothic architecture in Italy. On the terrace, numerous turrets, spires, pinnacles, and statues weave a lacy extravaganza of marble. Though the climb of 919 steps to the terrace left me winded, it was well worth the climb to experience such a unique sight at the top.

Description
This photograph, taken on the shores of Lake Zurich, led me to two interesting discoveries. Firstly, the proper word of a group of swans is “a whiteness of swans”. How appropriate! And secondly, taking a photograph of “a whiteness of swans” in low light is a tough job – they just cannot stay still!

The idyllic Loire country scenes make for just as interesting shots as the magnificent architecture of chateaus that they surround, and this is yet an another example of the same.
