Arrivederci Venezia

I could not resist these wall lights and this mercurial glass wall panelling. I have always thought to hang paintings on mirrored walls very pretty but this scene; I think it is in a league of it's own.

Have a very happy weekend, xv.

    It's 5AM here and now I am going to sleep with the vision of this wall at the Gritti Palace in my head. Thanks! Have a great weekend yourself - wherever you may be!!!

    The mercurial glass....so striking. Much better than plain ol' mirror.

    Such lovely Italian postings! I have enjoyed your visit there. To visit Fortuny must have been a dream. Their glorious designs are truly art.

    Wonderful posts from Venice.

    We haven't been there but hope to visit someday. Your description of the 'silver light' really seemed to capture its moods.

    Cheers from Sydney and thanks for sharing your trip to Venice!
