San Zaccaria Venice


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest SECOND PLACE Winner   San Zaccaria Venice
San Zaccaria Venice
The crypt of the church of San Zaccaria in Venice is somewhere between 800 and 1000 years old. One feature for which it is particularly renowned -- it routinely has a shallow amount of water flooding the crypt floor, creating an astonishing mirror image of itself. A narrow brick walkway rises a few inches out of the water, allowing visitors to observe this remarkable sight without disturbing the still water.

Lovely shapes and reflections. Works well in monochrome.

  Oh Wow! Great photo, Chris. I have been to Venice three or four times and never thought to photograph this. Maybe a reason to return.

  Thanks, Anita, Rudi & Harriet -- the church, like many in Venice, has short opening hours, if you make it back.

  Thank you very much, Martha! I had read about this chapel in advance of my first trip, but had no time to seek it out until my 2nd trip. I had the place to myself, which was nice, to take my time trying shots (without a tripod).
