Venice

Found this 'sotoportego' while I was tryining to get away from the mobs of tourists in July 2006/ It was one of the few photos which I like. I don't recommend going at the height of tourist season.

Here's an ironic question for you. No one likes being in places with a lot of tourists. So if being a tourist is such a bad thing, then why be one?

It is a good photo...

I agree -- I was there last July. However, I did discover that when in most tourist spots in Italy, almost nobody is out and moving before 8:00. Here are a few shots from an early morning stroll through Venice:
