When I visited it, I was so dismayed by the filthy water all around that I did not appreciate the rest of Venice. (Being a water person, I found it very dispiriting to be surrounded by water that was so filthy.) Your beautiful photographs of sacred spaces in Venice are deeply moving, and I hope that we get to see more of them.

It's lovely to go a bit off the beaten track in Venice and explore the side canals, little campi and churches less frequented by the thousands of cruise boat tourists. These are all so stunning and uplifting. They say Venice either raises you up or casts you down to gloom, depending on your frame of mind - and the weather. Some Italians say it's where problem marriages go to die - or new love can suddenly awaken or grow stronger. So good to see it's been so restorative and reinvigorating for you personally.
