Ciao fellow readers!
Today we present to you a blog post absolutely FULL of the most insanely beautiful photos of Venice.
I won’t be writing too much on this post because I want you to spend the time looking through the photos. (I really do apologise for the number… I tried cutting down :s Don’t give up!!)
By the way, the food in Venice is ordinary at best, the city is completely overpriced and TEAMING with irritating tourists. (Yes I’m one myself but I’m perfect and cool, so it’s different.) If you can manage to snap a photo without a hoard of people which is timed nicely with a gondola and/or you head down the back streets instead, you’ll find the best photo opportunities. ***Just a little tip***
As always, feel free to send me some comments/feedback – I check all messages.
*** A HUGE Kaptain Kenny thank you for my gorgeous friend Elena who contributed many of these amazing photos. Your photography is beautiful.
We’ve arrived
A floating city
Uh oh there’s one thing I don’t like sharing and that’s my holiday!
A little over ambitious
Snapping up some bargs
Always look up
My friend Nadja and I went on a dog rampage. We love dogs!
Some of Elena’s fine work
Thank you for spotting that gorgeous window and flower Elena 🙂
What an interesting corner!
Crumbling but sweet
That’s what I call a cool hidden corner!
‘Tis a hard life
Venetian colours <3
One of my favourite pictures of the day!
We went up here for lunch. Yep, it tasted that dodgy too :S
Some famous bridge?
Classic Venice!
A city on water
German cutie
Boats, boats and more boats!
Stahp! Model time.
Love these yellow and blue posts for some reason.
Chillen like a villain.
Oh em GEE – so cute.
Just casual.
Brickety brick
When you wander off the main streets, you will find cute little corners like this.
Well that looks dangerous.
Sweet, isn’t it?
Typical Italian scene.
Group Venice shot.
I hope he throws his cigarette in the bin afterwards!
This is my signature holiday pose. Sigh*
Near St Mark’s Basilica.
St Mark’s Basilica.
A spare gondola or two.
Sink or swim.
Elena!
Blue skies.
This is one of my favourite photos from the day. I love the shadows, lighting and pale pink with green shutters.
I want to live in a dishevelled Venetian house on a bridge 🙁
The day is wearing on.
Walking the quieter streets.
Look at those legs! *** and the men in the background 😉
Sigh, a holiday home here would be nice too.
Something Italians do fabulously – COLOUR.
Anyone for a dip?
Oh this is a great photo!
Goodness me, we’re in Venice.
The photos continue…. sorry! Are you still with us?
Just like her face, we are pooped! We’ve been sightseeing ALL day.
Goodbye Venice! You’ve been a blast!
![Not everyone has to like you. And not all people will. Deep down most people have a fear of being disliked, am I right? I just finished reading a very interesting book written by a Japanese philosopher, in dialogue format between a young man and a philosopher - to answer some of the young man’s most pressing life problems
.
It all came down to wanting to be liked. Doing things because you want to be liked. NOT doing other things because you want to be liked. Holding back from action A, sentence B or idea C because you want to be liked. Don’t get me wrong - the book isn’t teaching you how to walk around being an arrogant meanie - it’s just equipping you with the confidence and understanding that not everyone WILL like you - and that’s ok. If you have enough within you that you don’t need others’ approval, you can be relinquished from the feeling of need to prove something to others. Make sense?
.
Interestingly, I draw huge parallels between this topic and social media. We’re all on here wanting likes and approval, am I right? Especially those running businesses and trying to make money here. Basing the theory of the book on this particular topic, one might say social media is fairly unhealthy and toxic - but we all know that, don’t we? Are we sick of discussing this one yet?

Having a 6 week detox this year was awesome. Nothing short of it. I won’t say more because I don’t want to lecture or appear to be an expert, which I am not. All I’ll say was that I will do another one as soon as I feel I need it 💁🏻♀️

Happy weekend my virtual friends!

April 7, 2016 at 1:44 pmThank you lovely! It’s a mixture of my Canon dslr 1100d and my friend has a Nikon which is really lovely but a bit more complicated than mine to use 🙂

April 7, 2016 at 1:46 pmI see, funny that you say that -I’m currently switching from Nikon to Canon. All your posts are great, love all the pictures, thanks for sharing!

April 7, 2016 at 1:49 pmMy friend contributed some of her beautiful photos for the Venice trip and there are two scheduled posts coming with some of her photos too. (Another Italian one on Caorle/Conegliano and then one from Hamburg, Germany) All other posts are 100% from my canon 🙂 I love my camera – it’s for dummies. Really easy to use and hard to take a bad shot. I really appreciate your support too! It’s so time consuming to keep it going but worth it when people take time to stop and say that! Cheers
