Description

A view of St. George's Island from the boat. San Giorgio Maggiore is one of the islands of Venice, lying east of the Giudecca and south of the main island group. San Giorgio is now best known for the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, designed by Palladio and begun in 1566. In the early 19th century, after the Republic of Venice fell, the island became a free port with a new harbour built in 1812. It became the home of Venice's artillery. Thanks for your kind comments.

The city is so close to water level! That really amazes me that it doesn't flood more than we hear about! A most excellent photo and fine capture, Sandra! Thank you for sharing with us!

Sandra, this is one of those captures that absolutely took my breath away. What an amazing island St George's appears to be, as it seems to be bustling with color and life. I really like the view over the water as well as the massive collection of boats in the distance. My favorite part is of course the colourful domes with their various shapes and sizes.
