Still having the infrared camera on me we left the naval Museum and took the vaporetto over to Santa Maria della Salute, the church immediately across the lagoon from Piazza San Marco. This great baroque edifice was built to celebrate the end of the plague in 1670. The interior is a large rather characterless space. Following our visit we crossed back to San Marco over the Ponte Accademia and went back to the apartment. I have converted all of these infrared pictures to monochrome.

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.
