Travel for me is all about the transient moments I encounter. Fleeting fragments of life that evoke mood and a sense of place. To be able to freeze those ephemeral stories, to ensure they endure long after their momentary enactment, is such a boon.
Here are a few examples. All from Venice.
In Torcello….
Exiting a vaporetto….
A selfie beneath the Rialto…
A romantic stroll in San Marco.
Until next time…..happy travels, no matter where life takes you.
Lovely
Thank you! Have a great day 🙂
I loved that you looked at the “other” Venice and didn’t get stuck with the bridges and the architecture. I live there when I am in Italy and Venice is so much more than a museum – still a living and breathing city.
Thank you Claudia! Appreciate your stopping by 🙂
It’s amazing the emotion and pure humanness that is revealed by this type of picture, as opposed to posed, perfectly-timed ones. I love them.

I prefer candid street photography as well David. Something gets lost when the subject becomes aware of the photographer.
Lovely Madhu, each image conjures a story. – Ginette
Thank you very much Ginette.
Nicely captured moments–ethereal, indeed! Shouldn’t that guy taking the selfie be holding the camera upright to get the bridge and the guy rowing in the shot???
Thank you. I got the feeling they were too absorbed in themselves! 🙂
You’re right, I’d imagine that would be the point at that particular moment…still, I’d want a gondolier in the background,too.
Candid and nice.
Thanks again Niranjan 🙂
I always enjoy your captures, you evoke mood and personality. That is a special combination.
That is a lovely thing to say Valentine! Thank you very much 🙂

Hope Easter was fun Jo. Sorry to have missed wishing you before I left.
No worries, hon. I know you would have had a grand time. I expect you have another post up? Yippee! 🙂
These are awesome…and I leave with a great smile on my face as the last one sums it up so well 🙂
Thank you very much Randall 🙂
So many lovely feelings of comfort in these moments Madhu!
Thank you for reading Patti.
Excellent timing of all the photos… And all the characters on their own, engrossed in their own, very innocent… Happy clicking 🙂
