When your streets are canals, your bus stop shelter is going to be different, too, and so are your buses. San Silvestro, one stop before the iconic Rialto bridge is a typical example, and the ‘vaporetto’ below is a typical Venetian bus.
And the Rialto bridge, rising above the Grand Canal…
A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!

My wife and I paid a visit to Venice in December 1989. Being the off season it was not very crowded and the prices were great. We had our hotel right beside the Rialto bridge. Venice was fantastic for just wandering through the maze of streets?? and canals. There was always some little shop or café to discover around the next corner. Hope to return in the future. Thanks for the memories.
Those buses get as crowded as street buses. I almost saw a little old lady pushed into the Grand Canal, so definitely hang on tightly when you’re aboard!
