A Hazy Morning in Venice…

by on Mar.09, 2018, under Life, Photography

I had mentioned in an earlier post that my morning sunrise session was very hazy in Venice. And whilst it may have looked romantically like fog or mist (which would have been great) it was in fact just extremely heavy smog and pollution. In fact it hung around for most of the day and even my shots after midday show it to be remaining very hazy.

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.

This view from on the Rialto bridge probably typifies what it was like out this morning. This is at 10AM mind you, with an almost total whiteout… It might not have smelt great and I’m sure it was bad for the lungs, but it looked very beautiful and serene at the time and of course it comes up magnificent in photographs :).

This was the only day that Venice was like this for us – every other day the air was perfectly clear. I’m not at all sure what arbitrary amalgamation of conditions made this occur this day.
