Venetian Lamp

St Marks Square, Venice, Italy.

These beautiful art deco lamps festoon St Marks square in Venice. I turned up very early one September morning just after sunrise and found a determined sun trying to burn off the mist. The sun's strength was insufficient to cause undue lens flare, but the backlighting on the lamp glass was glowing orange as if they were still lit.

I am a sucker for light fixtures. And I am a sucker for silhouette. So...you can well imagine what this photo does to me. :)
