I especially liked the view with the twins baby walker and the wheel barrel in the photo. And the pano, of course, was spectacular in its detail. Thanks for posting.

We were lucky getting there early, at least before the flow of other tourists was poured into the streets by the vaporettos and tour operators, and the locals were not hiding yet.
