Impression of Gondola
I made this image by holding my camera just above the water, with the idea of an upward perspective of the Gondolier. I took a more gentle approach with the brush-on impressionist approach.

Venice's gondolas have a rich history dating back to the 11th century, symbolizing the city’s unique charm and romance. Initially used for everyday transport, these sleek, black boats evolved into a symbol of Venetian elegance. Gondoliers, the skilled navigators of these iconic vessels, undergo rigorous training and exams to master their craft. Traditionally, this profession was passed down through generations, often within families. Gondoliers not only steer through the city's intricate canals but also serve as cultural ambassadors, sharing Venice's history and stories with passengers. Today, gondolas and their gondoliers remain an integral part of Venice’s cultural and historical identity.
