There are places in the world, such as the Eiffel Tower, Great Wall of China, or Washington Monument that everyone recognizes immediately because we have seen so many photos of them. This picture above of the Rialto Bridge is very common because it is taken from the most common passage for gondolas in Venice. You get out into the center of the Grand Canal and there it is and you have to photograph it. It is almost an obligation (especially when all the gondoliers are out like this). I took this photo and do not apologize for it, although I must apologize for not wanting to go out in a gondola in the first place. It seemed too touristy and predictable. Alas, we were tourists and captivated by Venice like everyone else.
