Basilica Santa Maria della Salute
Venice, Veneto, Italy
Image ID: ITALY-VENICE-0005 Photo © Ilya Genkin
In this black and white long exposure, Venice transforms into a dreamscape. The Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute rises in quiet majesty, its Baroque silhouette softened by the misty blur of time. In the foreground, classic gondolas float like ghostly silhouettes, gently tethered yet drifting in the liquid stillness. The water, smoothed into glass by the long exposure, erases all trace of motion - a mirror of memory rather than a record of reality. Above, a pale, cloud-veiled sky dissolves into light, creating a minimalist backdrop that draws every eye to the domes and curves of the basilica. This image captures not just a scene, but a feeling: the stillness between tides, the silence between centuries.
Any photo in my collection can be made as a stunning black & white print.
