When we lived in Bolzano, and  I had a day when I ran out of time before finishing my planned blog post for the day, I would routinely turn to posting photos of the Dolomites as a quick solution for a post. You can’t go wrong with a photo of the Dolomites, that’s what I always say.

But now we’re on Plan G, and fresh photos of the Dolomites are harder to come by.  So, what to do now when I run out of time for finishing my planned post?

Well … how about this. Late in the day — one day back in May, that is — Chris and I set out with the intention of visiting something in Venice. As we waited for our vaporetto (water bus), another one bus came by that was headed out to the Lido island, in the opposite direction from where we’d originally intended to go.  I can’t recall exactly why, but at the last moment, we decided to catch the Lido-bound one instead and hopped on-board.  It was a good decision, because looking back toward the main island from the back of the bus afforded a spectacular view. Later, after the sun had set but with the colors of sunset lingering in the sky, the view from the bus stop on the Lido was just a photogenic.

See what you think — and then see if you agree that when in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a photo of a sunset over Venice….
