While we were away I shot video as well as stills. Here are four short 'stories' which you might enjoy.
We loved people watch in Piazza Navona in Rome. There's always something happening. One of the Piazza's regular buskers is a most attractive accordion player. The day I filmed this, there was also a religious event or parade in honour of the patron saint of emergency workers as far as we could make out.
We loved our week in Venice. We rented an apartment right on a canal (not hard to do of course) and made the most of great weather as we walked and walked. Great way to see this amazing place.
We spent a week on the Rhine on a river cruise. It's a great way to see the countryside. Between Amsterdam and Basel there are 16 locks. These are everyday events for Rhine boats - but a real novelty.
One afternoon while walking down one of the Fondamenta (path next to a canal) in the north of the island, we came cross a canal-side shipyard where there were two gondolas in the final stages of being built. As I rolled the camera, boats and gondolas came from all directions - making a great sequence.
Hope you enjoyed seeing some of the sights on video.
