EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Venice during a high tide, known as "Acqua alta". In the heart of St. Mark's Square, amidst the historic Piazzetta, a gondola gracefully glides through the flooded streets. The rising waters create a stunning reflection that mirrors the grandeur of nearby landmarks such as the Doge's Palace and the imposing Column of the Lion. As dawn breaks over this UNESCO World Heritage Site, Peter Fischer skillfully captures this unique moment in time. The golden hues of sunrise illuminate the scene, casting an ethereal glow upon both water and architecture. This image transports viewers to a bygone era when Venetian nobility would have traversed these same canals in their ornate palazzos. Venice itself is an emblematic travel destination, exuding romance and charm at every turn. Its labyrinthine waterways and iconic gondolas are synonymous with Italian culture and evoke a sense of timeless elegance. Nestled in Italy's Veneto region along the Mediterranean coast, Venice stands as a testament to Southern Europe's rich history and artistic heritage. Peter Fischer's masterful composition invites us to contemplate not only Venice's architectural splendor but also its delicate relationship with nature. As high tides continue to threaten this floating cityscape, we are reminded of its vulnerability yet enduring allure. This photograph serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and an evocative reminder of Venice's place among Western Europe's most treasured
