Augustissima Venetorum urbs quae una hodie libertatis ac pacis, et iustititiae domus est...

Hey folks!

Today I'm going to show you some long overdue pictures from my journey to Venice last year in August. For those who read Latin, I hope you recognised the hymn on Venice by Petrarch where I nicked the title of this post from. That being said, I think that he's well right in expressing his fascination for the lagoon city- once you've been there, it's not a place you'll easily forget. I'm still impressed with the magical beauty that floats around in the city, it's just not from this world... But enough with the rambling, on to the pictures now!

Now I'm asking you: Are you feeling the magic?
