Each photo has a story behind it. Some are more interesting than others and some stories are "I just took this because it was a petty sunset". The one above is obviously of the two of us in Venice. I personally was against going in a gondola. It seems cheesy. But, we had paid for the ride as part of paying for something else and cheesy or not I am cheap. We were in the gondola with another couple and had just come back from the Grand Canal. They made an offer to take our photo and so my wife handed them her camera. I had sun glasses on for the first photo and it was not good. I put my regular glasses on just as we came to a 90 degree turn into a side canal. The gondola was swinging around and about to hit the wall when the gondolier used his foot to stop the gondola and kick off from the wall. Snap. And, there you have it. I am squinting from taking off my sunglasses and do not look as happy as I felt. You can see that the gondolier was feeling a sense of pride in the moment. He is nearly posing. I liked the picture so much that I have used it here on this blog.
