Photograph of the iconic Ponte di Rialto spanning the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, taken from a low angle near the water’s edge. The elegant white-stone bridge, completed in 1591 during the Renaissance, features a single sweeping arch with rows of rounded arches lining both sides. Under the bright blue sky, crowds of tourists can be seen walking along the central walkway and browsing the small shops built directly into the bridge—one of its most distinctive features. A large banner hangs along the balustrade, partially shading the stone. Below, water taxis and private boats are moored at wooden posts typical of Venetian canals. The canal stretches into the distance beneath the arch, framed by colorful historic buildings on either side. The scene captures the lively, bustling atmosphere around Venice’s oldest and most famous bridge, celebrated for its architectural brilliance and its longstanding role as a central crossing point of the Grand Canal.

A slightly edited pix of the famous Ponte di Rialto, in Venice, Italy 🇮🇹.

It was a very busy area, but then, most of the touristic bits of Venice were... Still, I was able to get a half decent shot in. 😇 Which I edited a while ago, and I'm sharing with you now.
