Warnings Or Dangers: Agriculture deserves much of...

  • Agriculture deserves much of the blame for the algae that clogs the lagoon during the summer months, since rain often washes chemical fertilizers into the Lagoon. This is a severe problem in the marshy areas known as the laguna morta (dead lagoon), which aren't rinsed by the tides. The satellite image on the left shows the algae in yellow stretched from Ancona to Trieste. The picture was taken from my book „Globaler Wandel“ (Global Change) which I published in 1993.

     What a lovely job you did on your Venice pages. Your photos are stunning. We also fell in love with Venice as do most other visitors.

     What a place to run a marathon! You've got some great pictures from interesting angles here, & good info, too - well done!

     Holy Moly! Your photos are the most amazing I've seen in looking around. You must be a professional with am expensive camera - every shot is crystal clear! Thanks for your tips too - I've added them to my folders.

     Andreas, I really enjoyed your pictures on Venice. I will be heading to Venice in a couple of months as a part of my cycling tour around the Alps. Any recommendation regarding where to stay, and also what to do? Thanks, Kati
