Venice Grand Canal, Study 3
Venice, Veneto, Italy
Image ID: ITALY-VENICE-0010 Photo © Ilya Genkin
Elegance drifts across time in this black-and-white long exposure of Venice's Grand Canal. Moored gondolas sway gently in blurred motion, their iconic silhouettes ghostlike against the still water, evoking the city's ceaseless rhythm. Behind them, the regal facades of historic palazzi - lined with columns, arches, and timeworn textures - stand in quiet contrast, frozen in architectural splendor. This poetic image captures the tension between movement and stillness, between the living flow of the canal and the enduring presence of Venetian grandeur. A timeless portrait of a city where water and stone dance in harmony.
Any photo in my collection can be made as a stunning black & white print.
