Featuring hundreds of birds-eye photographs, this volume expands our perceptions of a city that already looms large in our mind's eye. Taking readers on an aerial adventure above this ever-fascinating city and its surrounding, the images in "High Above Venice" depict a city that is as breathtakingly beautiful in reality as it is in our imagination. A wide variety of panoramas depict the sights that are distinctly Venetian: the emerald-green Lagoon with its picturesque islands of Burano, Torcello, and Murano, the brightly-coloured homes of Burano, the network of canals branching out from the 'S' shaped Grand Canal, the venerable palaces, centuries-old homes, and world-famous monuments which are all the more compelling when viewed from above.For anyone who has experienced the magic of Venice, this volume is a souvenir to be cherished. And for anyone who hopes to travel to this city, it will serve as inspiration.
