Interesting textures on a wall.
I wonder how this happened!
There is pasta for sale everywhere, in Italy. It must be a very popular souvenir, as well as a favorite base for a meal. You see a ton of pasta that is very brightly colored. That didn't interest us gustatorially, even on the rare occasions when it was very pretty. But these different flavors.... If we lived there, we might try them.......
We learned things, about navigating in Venice. "Follow the crowd" is a good rule, if you are trying to get somewhere specific. When there are several exits from a piazza, you are likely to end up somewhere on the beaten path, if you follow the crowd.
Green pavement means "hardly any traffic goes this way." Which doesn't mean there aren't interesting things to see, if you go that way......
The green pavement itself.
Grass (?) trying to grow in the cracks.
Elderly wall surfaces.
Having retreated from the dead end, and having tried another route, we found an odd-lots sort of store. They had all sorts of different things, at low prices.
This was the kind of coffee maker we had in our apartment, only ours were aluminum colored, rather than these bright colors. This is where I bought my replacement yogurt spoons. I also got a small twist-the-pencil pencil sharpener.
Wandering on. Love this mailbox.
Overhead window box.
I can't remember what this rusty metal was. A door?
Another door.
I have decided, while editing, that this door is a portrait of Venice.
You see this sign everywhere -- meant to keep the tourists from going where they oughtn't, mostly, I think.
"Denied entry" is how Google translates it.
Boat propeller, and San Marco's lion.
If I were asked to pick three items to represent Venice, I don't know that I could do better.
Hmm, here's another representational object -- a low-rent version of a high-water exclusion device. I have a suspicion it probably worked better than ours!
