Street Photo Tour on a hot morning in the island of Giudecca

Laundry time on a hot day in the island of Giudecca in Venice

The woman who hanged the laundry on these wood sticks told me they belonged to her grand mother and they are more or less one hundreds years old. That can give you an idea of how the time has stopped in the beautiful island of Giudecca. I like to take my customer there for a street Photo Tour. When I took this picture it was a hot summer day.

Giudecca Island, shielded from the bustling crowds of central Venice, has managed to preserve its authenticity and tradition. A haven for romantics, history aficionados, and photographers alike, it beckons a discerning eye to capture its unique essence. The warmth of the sun, dancing upon the cobblestone streets, casts spellbinding shadows that linger long after the day has passed.

With its picturesque backdrop of historical buildings and the gentle lapping of water against the docked boats, Giudecca island is an ideal setting for a street photo tour. As I guide my customers through its narrow alleyways and quiet squares, they too become captivated by the timeless beauty that radiates from every corner. The island's unique ambiance and distinct character create the perfect canvas on which stories can be told through the lens of a camera.
