Venice From Above


Photographer Dan Kitwood took some aerial images of Venice, Italy. The 'City of Water' is located in northeast Italy, spanning 118 islands in the Venetian Lagoon.

Buildings in Venice were constructed on wood piles driven into the mud, sand and clay layers under the lagoon. Many of the buildings in Venice still sit on these piles driven more than a thousand years ago.
