Off The Beaten Path: The flow of rivers and canals...

  • The flow of rivers and canals mingles with the wash of the sea, with the slow movement of the Adriatic tides, checked by peninsulas and sandbanks. The barene, those stretches that are now submerged, now emerging, sometimes appear to twinkle on the horizon below their fringes of weeds. The mysterious play of the currents, in a slow process of undermining, eroding, and filling, shifts the deepest basins and brimming lands, providential pastures for crab, shrimp, shellfish, octupus, squid, gulls, snipe, herons, wild ducks, shoveler ducks--all the incorrigible hunters and fishers. And I thought this was an inanimate realm.http://www.photo.net/italy/venice-lagoon.html

  • Undoubtedly Venice was in the past centuries the target of long list of Magicians, Alchemists, Philosophers, Eretics, attracted by the liberal and tolerant atmosphere of the city. In the picture there is one my picture taken in Venice and published on The Misteries Journal.

  • Here you can see in the main hall of palazzo Ducale a group of Venetian patriots celebrating the 1000 years of Venice as indipendent country (me in the left with the book on hands).
