A sunny wall, with sand-coloured plaster crumbling away to expose terracotta brick. What makes the texture interesting are deep scratch marks in the brick in the centre of the photo, which look like giant furious claw marks, as if an angry Wolverine has taken out his frustrations on the wall with both hands. A bent drainpipe frames the top right hand corner, and throws a black shadow on to the wall.

The rooftops of the island of Giudecca along the bottom of the frame. Above, roiling dark grey clouds in a pale grey sky, full of foreboding.

A pastel-red wall, with a bit of greenery visible in the top right hand corner of the frame. Someone has graffitied in white capital letters, "l'arte è morta, Venezia è la sua tomba" (Art is dead, Venice is its tomb) to which someone has added in pale blue an "s" and "mbra" on either side of the e, so it now reads, much more accurately, "L'arte sembra morta, Venezia sembra la sua tomba" (Art appears dead, Venice appears to be its tomb)

Three arched windows set in a sunlit ochre wall. The window on the left has its green wooden shutters open, revealing a nut-brown bamboo screen blocking the glass, and a window box of green flowers beneath it. The two windows on the right are set very close to each other, one with its shutters closed and also window-boxed, and the one on furthest right with shutters half-open, the afternoon sunlight luminous against the glass. There is a thick line of cables running along the top of the image, and a thin one running down the middle

An ornate green wrought iron streetlight, with three arms topped with lanterns in pink-tinged glass. The photo is taken looking up, so that most of the background is uninterrupted pale blue sky, but the lower fifth of the frame is a flat-topped white wall, and the lower bit of the streetlight - a bit of the pole, two curved scrollwork arms and the bottom edges do the bottom two lanterns - casts a clear black shadow against it.

No space for Bezos #dailyvenice #venezia #venice #graffiti
Colour photo of a stained and weather worn ochre yellow wall, with three narrow pipes running down the right hand side of the frame, covered in stickers. On the left is a square of metal, it too covered in stickers and half torn-off posters. Underneath, in emphatic heavy black capital letters is written "no space 4 Bezos"

Pink #bloomscrolling #fleuristonfil #rose #flowers
Closeup of the left hand two-thirds of a pink rose. Its petals are just beginning to unfurl, but its heart remains tightly closed. The open petals are a paler pink, and have some cream coloured details on the edges. The background is sunlit greenery.

Points of light #silentsunday #dailyvenice #venezia #BlackAndWhite
Black and white photo taken at night, looking slightly up and along a narrow Venetian street, criss-crossed by a tangle of washing lines at various angles, some with laundry on them and some without, which look to me like the complex rigging of a mad imaginary boat with odd towel- and trouser-shaped sails. The houses on either side of the street are in shadowy darkness, you can just make out the shapes of windows and shutters, but more as texture rather than detail. There are also some power lines strung across the street, and there are three bright lit streetlights in a gentle curve shape rising from the centre bottom of the frame, to slightly right-of-centre about a third of the way up the frame; the eye is drawn upwards to the fourth point of light, the almost-full moon, a third of the way from the top of the frame. The image feels mysterious and secretive.

Colour photo taken at night. A few white jasmine flowers trail down from the top of the frame, brightly lit by a streetlight behind the photographer, which also throws the sharp black shadows of many many more flowers on to the pale grey-blue wall behind.

Colour photo taken looking up a high ivory coloured wall, which is in three sections, all with slightly different heights and angles, giving a jagged line of roof which runs across the frame at about a third of the way from the top. In the centre of the frame are two tall rectangular windows: the left one filled in with the same material as the rest of the wall so only the thin frame stands out in relief, and the one on the right has a white curtained top half and what looks like brown cardboard in its bottom half. A drainpipe runs horizontally below, making it look a bit like a winking robotic face. The top third of the wall is in bright glowing sun, but the shadow from the building opposite falls across the lower two thirds with sharp contours, giving the robot a shadowy face, with the shadow of a short chimney stack like a button on the top of its head. The sky above is bright blue, with some white smoky clouds on the left.

Good morning
Photo from HungoverOwls on tumblr, of, indeed, an owl looking particularly hungover - their eyes are reddish and almost-closed, squinting down their small yellow beak, and their white and brown striped feathers are half floofed up and dishevelled. The caption underneath reads "Fuckin' Mond- Tuesday. Fuck Tuesday. Fuck whatever day it is."

Concentric #texturetuesday #dailyvenice #venice #venezia
This is a bit difficult to explain, but here we go: detail shot of a wall, with a series of rectangular corners, expanding from the top left hand of the corner of the image, like a stack of paintings or papers or books laid one on top of each other, in order of size. Or, like a chart showing different paper sizes. The first and smallest, in the top left corner, has three small bricks, standing out from the wall, in a sort of frame. Next is an ornate carved relief border, with ribbons undulating to form circles which have flowers inside them; this too is contained within a narrow frame, like that of a painting, which casts a dark and jaggedy-edged shadow . The rest of the wall is uneven textured plaster, which has fallen away in the bottom right hand corner to expose some rough brick. The whole is in shades of pastel red, and basking in sunshine.

Colour photo of part of a construction boat. The left half of the frame is blue metal deck, stained and rusted and corroded, with a thick rusty-coloured rope coiled up in a circle, and one frayed end knotted to the edge of the boat. The right half of the frame is the boat's container for rubbish, which is caked with grey-brown dried cracked mud, and there is a thin plank of blond wood lying diagonally across the bottom right hand corner. There is a thin strip of green canal water along the top of the frame. The feeling of the image is one of tools having been emphatically downed, and the equipment left to very much take care of itself while its operators are off having a siesta.

Colour photo of a mass of small white flowers, with six satiny petals and yellow-green centres. They are half in shadow and half in bright sun, and are growing close to the ground so that the soil can be seen as black patches amongst them. They are framed on the top and the left of the frame by out of focus yellow-green leaves, the same shade as their centres.

Colour photo taken looking up at the top storey of a yellow-painted house. It is only two windows wide - the one on the right is covered by closed dark green wooden shutters, and the one on the left is only partly visible due to the exuberance of a rampantly flowering jasmine which covers almost the entirely of the house, like a roiling waterfall of thousands upon thousands of white blossoms and green leaves. The sky behind is periwinkle blue, faintly streaked by some white wisps of cloud. I wish I could photograph the scent too, which is intoxicating.

#silentsunday #dailyvenice #venezia #boat #photography
A crystal-clear reflection of a two-masted boat in perfectly still water. The white hull of the boat runs along the top of the frame, and the black masts, without sails but with lots of lines of rigging at various angles, are pointing downwards and their tops almost touch the bottom of the frame. The cloudy sky above is rendered various shades of pastel bottle-green in the lagoon water. The image feels like a glimpse into a literal upside-down world, which frankly looks a lot more peaceful than our own.

Portrait orientation colour photo of a rectangular window, of almost identical proportions to the image itself, in the lower left of the frame. The window has a thin dingy white marble surround, dingy white closed shutters, and is fronted by a slightly brighter white metal grille which has a geometric vaguely Art Deco-esque pattern of lines and rectangles. The wall in which the window is set is painted a pale yellowish colour, but is waterworn and stained with steaks and blotches of beige and grey. Attached to the wall in the top right hand corner is a small ornate black metal streetlight, its curves and crenellations in contrast to the straight lines of the window. The lamp itself is unlit, but a flood of warm yellow light shines from the right from a source out of the frame, casting a strong shadow from the streetlight, and again emphasising the contrast between the softer curvier lines and the colder rigidness of the window.

Bath #silentsunday #dailyvenice #birds #photography
On the left hand side of the frame is an ornate stone column public water fountain, with a gold tap shaped like the neck and head of some mythical creature. The water is flowing slowly enough that you can see individual droplets falling from the mouth of the tap. In the little trough underneath sits a round tufty-feathered pigeon, enjoying the drips of water landing on its head. The damp paving stones around it glow a shiny gold in the setting sunlight, and the grey-flagged whitewash-walled piazza behind is otherwise deserted. The image feels quiet and warm and like the world around is slow and sleepy, and for me encapsulates the mood of the siesta hours of a southern European summer.

Voga #dailyvenice #meermittwoch #venice #photography
Three figures in dark black silhouette are standing rowing in a small wooden boat. They are mid-stroke, arms straight out in front of them, legs slight apart for balance. They are rowing across a vast expanse of silvery blue water; immediately behind them are a small forest of slim wooden pasts which mark the boat lanes. The horizon line is about a third of the way up the image, and the edge of a small densely wooded island is just visible at the far left of it; and next to it, thankfully indistinct, is a horrific giant cruise ship of about the same dimension as the island. Vast pale blue sky dotted with clouds above.

Cone l'que #dailyvenice #graffiti #smallcheeringthings #fontchoices
A beige wall, on which has been stencilled the word "one" in black and the word "love" below it in pink, but in an overly fancy swirly embellished and thus almost illegible font, so that it looks like it instead says "cone l'que"

Colour photo, taken aboard a boat, looking down into silvery green canal water. The image is framed in the upper right corner by the reflection of a low brick canal wall, and in the lower left corner by the edge of the boat, made of bright brown shiny wood. Reflected between them is a monumental marble building, with columns and crenellations, perfectly mirrored in the water which is completely still and flat, apart from along the boat's edge in the lower left corner where it is rippled and distorted by the boat's gentle wake. The overall effect of the image is one of a sort of optical illusion, reality being invaded and slightly distorted by a tiny vortex from elsewhere, and for me feels like it's asking us a question about what we perceive and how we perceive it.

Colour photo of a monumental building frontage, with two storeys of huge high arched fanlighted leaded windows, separated by marble columns and topped with marble heads and ornamental cherubs, and with Juliette balconies in front. At the top is a row of horizontal oval windows. The picture is all in shades of black and grey and dingy white. Almost in the centre of the frame is a seagull in flight, wings curved mid-flap in a shape reminiscent of the arched tops of the windows, but its dingy white and grey colouring means that it is so well camouflaged that you'd miss it if you weren't looking closely.

Colour photo taken looking up at the top of a moss-covered brick garden wall, which makes a diagonal line across the lower right hand corner of the frame. A lilac wisteria bush clambers over the top of the wall. Above is a washing line, on a contrasting diagonal going from the top left corner of the frame to the middle right, on which is hung two lilac towels which exactly match the colour of the wisteria. The corner of a white sheet on the line is to the left, and a small towel on the right in a pleasing contrasting blue colour. Behind is an ivory white wall, the edge of a wooden rooftop balcony structure, and a corner of cloudy white sky. The image feels tranquil and muted.

Fabriqué au Gabon #dailyvenice #water #meermittwoch #venice #venezia
Colour photo taken at a low angle, of wooden mooring posts and the side of a wooden pontoon in a canal. The water is a dull greyish green colour, and the wooden posts where they emerge from the water are covered with grey and green algae and barnacles, and leave their reflections on the water's gently rippled surface. In the foreground on the left is a pale brown post with a horizontal bar like the unfinished idea of a fence which almost reaches the centre of the frame. Stretching from the right of the frame, to almost but not quite join with it in the centre, is the pale grey pontoon. In the background through the mooring posts you can just make out the buildings on the other side of the canal, in white, grey and pale terracotta. The overall impression is of a confusion of horizontals and verticals, all in a very muted colour palette. The detail that stands out is on the side of the pontoon, on which has been printed, upside down and in the sort of lettering that is used on the side of old fashioned tea crates, the words "Fabriqué au Gabon" on a vibrant bright blue rectangle.
