Venice, day 2, an evening stroll

We dropped our shopping off at the apartment and walked back to Piazza San Marco. It was January and the sun was retreating quite early in the day. I had wanted to see the lagoon in it's sunset colours and it seemed only right to make some pictures of the bobbing gondolas. Well everyone else has done it!! Next we walked across to the Accademia Bridge and looked at Santa Maria Della Salute before we crossed over for a closer inspection. The bridge was full of people and bounced a lot. The Santa Maria side was quiet and a little eerie. Fortunately on the way back the crowds had thinned out and I was able to use a tripod to take some pictures down the Grand Canal.
