Venice Sunrise

4.15 in the morning. Switched off the alarm on the phone and in half an hour I was in my car driving to Venice. I stopped to pick up my friend Ilenia and then we left for Mestre train station.
At 6.15 Venice was empty. No one along "calli" and "campielli" except for a couple of person with a tripod on hand.
The city was "silent". After a quite long walk we reached Piazza San Marco and behind the bell tower we found a lot of photographer ready to take a picture of the sunrise:



The morning continued walking through the city. Every time I go to Venice I find new places that I've never seen before.
But this, this is one of the most famous places in Venice: the Bridge of Sighs

Woke up at 3.00 a.m. I and my friend Ilenia left home at 3.30 a.m. and I drove for one hour and a half. We reached the lake at 5.00 a.m. and "there was only darkness". We don't know exactly where was this part of the lake, so I asked in a bar where to find the boats. The owner answered: "sure, the boats are behind my bar!". We parked the car and take out our stuff waiting the perfect moment to take a picture of the sunrise.

The Guard

April 2016. London. We went to London for a week end. It was one of my dreams since last time I visited it. My mission was to take the same picture I took with my phone in 2010 (5 months before I touched a reflex): I bought also a brand new lens to shoot something like this. I haven't been able to do that. :( Anyway we walked a lot through the city and for a guy that loves photographs, this city offers him a lot of subject, popular and not. I took many photos: monuments, streets and people. One morning (Sunday morning, the day of London Marathon) we went to London Tower and I took this:
