how_to_create_a_venice.jpgDid you know that Venice was dug out a while ago to attract tourists?223 viewsI saw it with my own eyes and took this picture while wondering off the beaten track and tourist routes. Here they are very busy digging the roads up way below the waterline even on a big day like Carnival Day. Surely there is no time to waste with this important task. Well it is a good scheme because people come from far and wide to see the water streets. Pardon the spelling miss take on the photo annotation.showyourphotos

Look_MA.jpgThe funny looking person in the middle is not part of the group, but will give his front teeth to be.225 viewsHow important is it to look like you belong in a group?? Very important if you consider that this man ruined a good picture by posing in the middle of this lot. He ruined a second picture where somebody was photographed without a hat. Is he holding his breath so the photo will not be blurred?showyourphotos

The_mask.jpgAt last, posing maskmen without a tourist hugging them.245 viewsThe masks and costumes were very good and worth seeing. Most tourist poses with these people and makes it almost impossible to photograph them alone. showyourphotos

the_street.jpgCold, lonely and very beautiful.246 viewsVenice is not for people on business trips who sneak away from San Giorgo Di Nogaro for a Saturday to see the carnival in full motion and then miss the main parade because he has to catch the train back. Look at this photo - my wife should be posing in the left corner in moment of bliss. On the bright side: there is always another opportunity in the future to do it right.showyourphotos

Willie_hold_up_the_pisa_tower_-_we_just_had_to_do_it.jpgThis is how the leaning tower of Pisa was fixed so it does not fall over.295 viewsMaybe you didn't know, but the tower of Pisa was falling over more and more over the last few 100 years. It was pushed back after 1992. The tip moved about 500 mm for the tower to be in the a stable position where it was 100 or so years ago. The tower was falling while they build it and was never straight. Now there are several rumors and theories of who fixed it and how. Here is my theory with proof: Willie, a no-nonsense engineer from South Africa, simply pushed it back a bit and now it’s OK. Well doshowyourphotos
