La Corsa
La Corsa (The Race)
Venice 2008
I captured this shot of workers emerging out of the fog while on my beautiful italian adventure. It had laid dormant on a disc until i started putting a dvd together.
When I saw it on the big screen, I was mesmerized. What is an ordinary, everyday occurence to the men in the boats racing to work, seems quite heroic and magical to me.
Best viewed in the larger format. I hope you enjoy this image as much as I do.

Oh Sooz how wonderful to have these shots – no doubt transports you back to the ‘adventure’ every time to view them! Certainly something from another world. Just love the subject matter.

Even this size made me think about how much water there is, Sooz (before reading your explanation). Tend to see more of the narrow canals between interesting buildings. I like the way the bodies of the men are all looking so animated. Simply like the whole picture.

My favourite thing about this pic is the mist, it looks so cold, and for me that is the best and only time of year to be in Venice!
Really beautiful shot!
