they tell me it's not safe to swim.

In Augost 2002 I toured Italy, especially in Rome, Florence and Venice. I got to Venice at 6 am with the night train from Rome (an experience of it's own, believe me!) and headed toward San-Marco piazza. On my way, i happen to stumble into an interesting event: an old lady walking very slowly, throwing bread crumbs everywhere and a flock of pigeons flying all around her in total berzerk! This was happening several hours before the rush of tourists through the winding alleys of Venice and the quiet of this beatifull city was broken by the sound of flapping wings and the old lady footsteps...

And you thought you'd seen the last of my Italy pix! Ha! These are shots I took stitched together by a Photoshop wiz friend of mine. He'd asked me to do this while I was there, and I think he did an amazing job with my raw photos--all the credit goes to him: [update]check 'em out again--I goofed and removed the scrollbars, which are now back so you can see the entire picture. the Dolomites + Siena at sunset + the Coliseum post-thunderstorm + Rome's Forum, from the Coliseum + St Mark's Square, Venice.

These horses are some of the design at the top of St. Mark's Cathederal in Venice, Italy.
