A visit to the mysterious and intriguing city of Venice has always been on my bucket list. My wife finally convinced me we needed a holiday, so we decided to spend New Years Eve in the City of Love. Although this experience was for us to share, she graciously allowed me to take my camera, as she knew I had always longed to photograph this exotic city. It had been raining this day, but I felt I needed to go up onto Rialto Bridge to see what would transpire. Right after sunset, a twilight glow began to illuminate the sky, cloaking the scene in a beautiful soft, amber glow. It was a magical moment of light that only lasted for about ten minutes. For me, Venice truly lived up to its mystical reputation and I m glad it opened a window of light for me to share this majestic place with you.
