flying over the city center and the lagoon

This book, "Venice from Above", takes you also flying over the lagoon, the best way to realize the distances and proportions for the historical city center and the various islands scattered in the Venice "laguna". strips of land or points sketched in the middle of the sea; silences broken by the noise of a motorboat, of the gulls. It is a completely different world, where one can relax at a special pace, and dream of being a bird.

Yet, this is neither a lazy land, nor a desert one. It is the place where one may find him/herself; a photo may not be enough, but can help daydreaming, and planning the next trip to this wonderland.
