After two months of lockdown we all want to come back to normal life. Slowly everything in Venice is opening again, and this is my friend Flavio looking outside his bookstore, in the Giudecca island. The Giudecca island is almost unexplored and forgotten by mass tourism. From this island you can see one of the most beautiful panoramas of Venice.

Outside the same bookstore from where I took almost the same picture a few days before, during a Photo Tour I was holding in the Giudecca island - one of the most beautiful and forgotten by mass tourism areas of Venice - I saw this incredible situation and it reminded me of a Magritte’s painting. The clouds were right on the face of my friend Flavio and I quickly took the picture, before the magic moment was gone.
