Boatman rows away a shining Gondola under Rialto bridge in dream-like Venice.
The rippling backwater gently splashing the embankments of the Grand Canal etches the magical moment held forever in my mind. A must visit.
----"It is too beautiful to be painted! It is untranslatable!" said Claude Monet on reaching Venice in 1908. But the urge soon overtook him and he passionately painted the watery landmarks, The Doge Palace, San Giorgio Maggiore, The Palazzo da Mula, The Grand Canal etc. to name a few. The water gave him "good reflections" he said.
