There seems to be more musically sophisticated buskers in Venice - classical music to enrich the soul.

Here's another form of busking. Put some coins in the box to take a picture, or, pose with them for a picture. Either way, put money in the box.

A warm sunny wharf near the Rialto Bridge is just perfect for a pair of tourists to rest and recharge their batteries.

Ready for passengers.

We had a great lunch along this wharf just below the Rialto Bridge. Even though most/all customers were tourists, the standards for food quality were high. Protecting the Italian reputation for quality food was evident everywhere.

This "grocery store" is on a boat docked along a side canal. Customers stand beside it on the sidewalk and the greengrocer passes over what the shopper can't reach from the bins.

A department store just north of the Rialto Bridge, Fondaco dei Tedeschi, has a rooftop deck that visitors are sometimes permitted to access. This view is looking northward up the Grand Canal......
