PhotoHunt: Foreign


This week's PhotoHunt theme is Foreign.
This is a night exposure originally taken on slide film about 40 years ago in Venice, Italy when I lived about 30 miles north of there.  I think this should be foreign to everyone in PhotoHunt.

I look forward to seeing your post too.  I may be a couple days getting to it because I've got a busy weekend, but I'll get around to them all (provided your links work ;^)  ) .

You can see more “Foreign” photos from around the world by clicking here.





Don't be shy - leave a comment or email me.  I love hearing from my visitors!

I think you really captured some of the romance of Venice with this shot!

YTSL said...

Very nice pic indeed -- and this is the first time I realized you had lived for some time in Italy! :)

So beautiful! Thanks for sharing this.

What a great photo! And it has aged so well, too. Beautiful.

I admire slide photography as there is really no room for error. Slides are even difficult to crop so I take my good hat off to people who shoot good slide photos.

I love the exposure in your night shot.

Good luck with your contest. I think 500 followers would stress me out as I'd feel l'd want to try and visit them all.

Gorgeous photo (as usual). I'd just love to see Europe someday... sheesh, I'd be happy to see Idaho or Maine, even!

My Photo Hunters is up. I hope you have some time to take a peek. Happy weekend!

Ah ! Venice by night ! that's a place which is not foreign at all to me, I have been there several times. My husband is Italian and it's not that far from where he came from.

Alice Audrey said...

It's certainly foreign to me. I'd love to go to Italy someday.

Foreign night shots always seem so exotic and romantic! This is wonderful. I was in Venice nearly 40 years ago. I can't believe it's been that long. Beautiful!

Maya said...

Lovely photo, I like how you posted one on top of another. It is interesting how the moon is so comforting to people when they are in a foreign place.

Susanne said...

Such a beautiful place!

Teena in Toronto said...

It's still a gorgeous shot all these years later.

I played too :)

Marta said...

Interesting view of Venice. I'm so used to see the gondolas and canals, this does look foreign to me.

Irene said...

Love the moon! Thanks for dropping by. Saw you left your message in my post, I approved it but after that it's gone, no where to be found. Thanks for dro.pping by

Marina said...

Wow, what a gorgeous shot of my favorite city in the world. Love it!

It's an absolutely wonderful shot! I've been to Venice several times for one thing or another. I wish I knew it better because my grandfather came from there.

I'm sorry to be so very late getting around to visiting.

Lui said...

How I wish Venice was not foreign to me.. I hope I could visit that place sometime soon.

Lovely shot.
