Before the Bustle

If you've ever been to Venice, Italy you've probably been to the Rialto Bridge. And you probably know how crowded both the Grand Canal and bridge get during business hours. Hoping to avoid the crowds of the day, I shot this image in the early morning, when mostly delivery boats occupy the river. Unfortunately, by shooting in the morning only one side of the rivers' tenants were illuminated. Although I would have preferred to have both sides illuminated, the contrast between sides gives nice depth to the shot.

Seadragon this image!
