Bridge of the Academy
Blue hour from the Ponte Dell'Accademia in Venice. One from the archives.
[#7 on explore 07/05/20]
A famous view, many have taken this shot, but as it was my first time in Venice I really wanted to shoot this view from the Accademia Bridge myself. In the morning there was fog, but the late afternoon cleared up beautifully.
Venice - Santa Maria della Salute and the Grand Canal.
View from accademia bridge. The Ponte dell'Accademia is one of only four bridges to span the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. It crosses near the southern end of the canal, and is named for the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, which from 1807 to 2004 was housed in the Scuola della Carità together with the Gallerie dell'Accademia, which is still there. The bridge links the sestiere of Dorsoduro and San Marco.

Santa Maria della Salute (English: Saint Mary of Health), commonly known simply as the Salute, is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica located in the Dorsoduro sestiere of the Italian city of Venice. It stands on a narrow finger of land between the Grand Canal and the Bacino di San Marco making the church visible when entering the Piazza San Marco from the water. The Salute is part of the parish of the Gesuati and is the most recent of the so-called plague-churches.
In 1630, Venice experienced an unusually devastating outbreak of the plague. As a votive offering for the city's deliverance from the pestilence, the Republic of Venice vowed to build and dedicate a church to Our Lady of Health (or of Deliverance, Italian: Salute). The church was designed in the then fashionable baroque style by Baldassare Longhena, who studied under the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi. Construction began in 1631. Most of the objects of art housed in the church bear references to the Black Death.
The dome of the Salute was an important addition to the Venice skyline and soon became emblematic of the city, inspiring artists like Canaletto, J. M. W. Turner, John Singer Sargent and Francesco Guardi.

Given my apartment was literally 2 minutes (if that) walk from here, it would have been rude not to have shot this iconic view of Venice.

Early morning in Venice, when it is still quiet and all the narrow streets and canals beg to be explored. This was an early October morning when there was no one else photographing on the Accademia Bridge. For me this was the best moment in Venice!
