To me, Venice is in itself a work of art.
For the purpose of this weeks challenge however, I showcase some delightful window displays from the magical city…….from chocolate art to carnivale masks. All but the first, shot through glass. Hope you like them as much I did discovering them.
From inside out!
After hours….shuttered shop window
Tragicomedia – mask shop
Masks and reflections.
More reflections!

An edible Masterpiece!
And happy travels……..no matter where life takes you.
Such fun you had in Venice, Madhu! The second shot is exquisite. Lighted windows and the mystery of it all. I love it 🙂
I love that one too Jo, especially for its aura of mystery. Wish I could make the price tag across her nose go away though 🙂
I love the masks and hope one day to see this grand city for myself. 🙂
Thank you Luann.
Love them all for the challenge, the mask is gorgeous.
Thank you Mary. I would love to see that interpreted on canvas by you! 🙂
Thanks Madu!
I LOVE masks! They provide emotional shelter and encourage spontaneity !
I love the romance and mystery they evoke, but I find them sinister somehow Kathryn! 🙂
Some masks are intentionally sinister I agree but many more are fun! I always think about posting a challenge requesting people in masks! I think I only have one personally!
I don’t own any other than that bronze Bhuta mask!! 😀
It’s a beauty !
Fascinating works of art. And I agree with you, the city is itself one. I came across this video shared by a fellow-blogger, which made me appreciate the science and hard work behind this work of art. Check it out- http://shootingveniceandberlin.wordpress.com/2012/03/02/32/#comment-299
Thanks Kan. And what a co-incidence that you should mention that site! Bruno connected with me after reading my “Moving in Venice’ post!!! Wish I had known him before I went 😦
Did you treat yourself to some of these chocolates? The shuttered shop window is my favourite photo here.
No, it was closedand I never ventured back there again. The shuttered window is my favourite too Paula.
