My last afternoon/evening in Venice I finally made it to one of the more famous places to see actually on Venice, St. Mark's Basilica in the Piazza San Marco. By the time I got there St. Mark's was closed for the day. The Doge's Palace was letting in the last groups of the day, so I gave it a pass too. Always leave something to see the next visit...The bell tower, the Campanile, soars above the piazza and gives spectacular views - excellent photo ops - so I chose to do that.
the Campanile
the Lion of Venice
The red tile roofs reminded me of Palos Verdes
A bell in the tower. There are four.
The Domes of St. Mark's Bascilica

Piazza San Marco
This is the Bridge of Sighs. The bridge prisoners crossed from the interrogation room in the palace to the prison.
Just thought this was a cute family.
These street lights looked so pretty in the sunset, and made me think of Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast
This is a night shot of the Constitution Bridge. It is famous for the number of times tourists have slipped and hurt themselves. I crossed it earlier without injury.
