I made this image, while walking through the city of Venice. You see here a gateway, leading to a courtyard. With two wooden doors behind it, giving access to a luxury residence along the canal.
I started my walk through the city, from my b&b near the train station. As I walked along one of the many narrow canals, I saw this impressive entrance on the other side, which is part of Palazzo Gradenigo. An imposing old mansion, which now houses holiday flats.
In the foreground you can see a white marble arch, which is overgrown with green climbing plants. Decorative ornaments can be seen on both sides of the arch. Behind the arch is a small courtyard, with two large wooden doors painted green. Next to the doors are white marble pillars with various decorative ornaments above them, which are carved into the marble. Also above these doors, you can see green climbing plants. Which make for a nice decorative element in that picture, with their fresh green colour!!!
