Venice in a Day


Venice is one of the most stunning cities in the world. With no wheeled traffic, water is the lifeblood of the city. Reflected in water, built over water, and slowly, being consumed by the water, this thousand year old city is one of the world's treasures. 
To walk out of the rail station in the northwest corner of Venice and onto the quayside of the Grand Canal is to walk straight into an old master painting: an assault of rich color, an impasto of stone textures, and the illusion of streets turned to water.

A day in Venice (Venezia) in Italy, from daybreak to sunset in timelapse. Beautiful stop motion video photographed and created by Joerg Niggli welcomes for a day journey to Venice. It's really a great place.
