A snapshot of June in Venice, Italy. 2024.
A weird and wonderful mix showcasing a contemporary Venice warming up for summer.

As usual seeking out the slightly unusual in the everyday, with iPhone SE (some Fujifilm X-E3, 18mm f2) and editing in Adobe Lightroom.
As a storm of Biblical proportions hits Veneto and the historic centre of Venice on the evening of 16 May 2024 I managed to catch a few shots of the event on the iPhone. Incredible scenes where the calle (streets) instantly became rivers, the campi (squares) became lakes, and the canals disappeared as water levels rose. No wonder the seagulls went crazy. ☔️
A brief respite in the archways of Rialto provided opportunity to use the reflections from the encroaching waters for some artistic distraction, but it was an event both thrilling and scary in equal measure. The forecast is for more, so is this a warning of the severity of what’s to come? #climatechange ☔️
