Early Morning Walk
“A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.”
Arthur Symons
Sensing the City
Take an early morning walk out into Venice. You don’t need a plan for this. Just leave your hotel or apartment and walk. Stay aware of the quality of the light and whether it is a still or breezy day. Look around you at the buildings and the canals. Take in the varied Venetian colours. Use your senses to tune in to a multi-sensory Venezia. Here you are walking in the quiet early morning streets with background scenery which could be the canvas of a Renaissance artistic masterpiece. Today is still your own blank canvas. Start to notice the rhythm of the city
