I fell in love with the green triple lamp posts with pink glass immediately upon arriving in Venice, and I ended up finding this view of the Grand Canal after visiting the Peggy Guggenheim House Museum. I spent a significant amount of time here and couldn't help but imagine other artists looking this same way for so many centuries. I was enamored with the fact that the city still looked so similar to the Canaletto paintings I love at The Met.
