Venice Canal and Courtyard

Venice was unbelievable. By unbelievable, I mean that it doesn't look real. It looks like a place made by someone at Disney that was hired to make something that looked very much like Venice.

This effect was heightened this particular day by the fact that the cloudy sky was almost completely white. I grew up with skies like this, and the effect it sometimes has is that the world looks fake - everything stops at the sky, and the sky really isn't a sky at all, but a flat white canvas that hasn't been finished yet. Venice seems like that in this picture, a painting someone started but left incomplete.
