Briccole at sunsetby sandysmith
I'm sure you'll have noticed all those poles in the venetian lagoon, marking out safe chanels deep enough for the boats to navigate through. Ever wondered what they are called? well thery are called"briccole", and are made of wood of False Acacia (or Locust-Tree, "robinia" in Italian). No better material has been found for them, things like concrete don't last much in these waters. They made at atmospheric shot at sunset don't you think :-)
