I t was a wonderful car ride from Copenhagen to Italy in the summer of '96 with my aunt and uncle. The great thing about Europe is that one can pass a few countries in just a couple of days. The same distance in Canada will only get you out of a province. The journey south provided, among other things, a chance for me to drive on the Autobahn in Germany and a most spectacular view of the Swiss Alps.
Once we entered Italy everything was like a painting. The countryside is gorgeous. We stayed two nights in the small romantic town of Verona then visiting Venice. Venice certainly has an other-worldly feel, but in peak tourist season, it left a somewhat negative image. A place which is unable to change, I felt. Stuck in time, frozen.
I had two cameras on me during this trip, a manual one with black and white film, and an automatic with colour. This is a shot of the famous San Marco square, where you swear you feel like you're in a film. Venice is indeed a painter's paradise, but also a photographer's.
