Not sure if such type of photos are much appreciated in this forum as Google Earth and Google Maps usually are the top dogs for these sort of pictures. However I found that this angle is way more natural than a standard top-view perspective. Now to the picture itself. We were on a trip to Venice in fall 2006 and I was lucky to catch a window seat. As a matter of course I had my pocket camera (Olympus SP320) with me. The flight itself was short (MUC-VCE) and after ascent from Munich I could take some beautiful shots of the Karwendel ridges and Austrian Alps. 40 Minutes later we took a left turn above North of Chioggia for the final descent to Airport Marco Polo as suddenly Venice appeared at my window, I was quite pleased and took the shot ...
The panorama only consists of two pictures but it shows the most famous parts of the laguna of Venice. I was indeed in a little hurry because the city was passing by very quickly.
The ocean liner at the docks of Venice is the 'Grand Princess', built in 1998, by Fincantieri, Trieste, Italy. 109.000 Gross Register tons with a length of 290m and a height of 60m. The ship has 18 decks for 2600 passengers with 1100 crew members. At its launching it was the biggest and most expensive liner of the world.

Per tutti coloro che amano la città (da turisti), consiglio di lasciar perdere una volta tanto le scontate visite a Piazza San Marco e al ponte di Rialto, o a Murano, e di scoprire gli angoli più suggestivi e nascosti della Laguna, la zona umida antropizzata forse più grande d'Europa. Un po' ovunque vengono organizzate escursioni guidate sia alle valli da pesca sia alle isole minori.
Ciao, Alvise.
