I got up early for a sunrise shoot hoping for golden light and this is the best that it got. As you can see, there was lots of clouds and I waited for over an hour for a break in the clouds.

Taken in the lace museum in Burano, these ladies are the last of the city’s lace makers. Their work is so fine and they sit quietly stitching all day. A significant piece of lace can take years to make, and thus once a machine was designed that could do this work, the market for hand stitched lace disappeared. A document to a passing skill.
We had a lovely few days in Venice last week. The weather was warm, the city beautiful, and the skies lovely colours. I met with my good friend for coffee and chats about her business, and we got to spend some fun time with my mum and aunt. There should be some other shots coming, but for now here is a sunset image taken from a restaurant in Arsenale looking towards Salute and the Grand Canal.
