more views of time in Venice


we arrived in Venice in a tremendous hailstorm - not the usual view of St.Mark's campanile!

too many photo opportunities to publish!

almost all the Murano glass masters are away on vacation but this guy gave us a pretty impressive demo

a more conventional view

Peggy Guggenheim's gallery on the grand canal has 11 Jackson Pollocks - she was his champion in the early days (c. 1947). A (good) gallery is always worth the time and hers is brilliant if you like modern, surreal or dadaism.
