The quiet side of Venice

For all the confusion and congestion that one usually sees in Venice, there's a reality of almost total quiet just around the corner. Venice is actually a very underpopulated city with very few actual residents and with most of the people who work there living in nearby Mestri. It's almost like a theme park. Just leave one of the main tourist filled streets and another quiet and depopulated Venice becomes evident. It's actually uncanny.These are from April of 2011, our last visit there and were shot with the Olympus EPL-2, We are just itching to get back. Population issues aside, this is an uniquely fascinating and magical place.
