Madonna on the wall

HWW!

A photograph from a tourist trip to Venice a while back. After seeing the iconic sights, we spent a couple of days walking off the beaten track, through the smaller streets and canalsides, finding fascinating pockets of local life.

With perfect, but entirely accidental timing, the skies cleared and the sun provided an additional halo to this statue of the Madonna on the corner of a property wall.

We saw several statues around the place which had a structure above them to protect from the worst of the weather.

A cool find! Nor only the madonna with her canopy but also the obviously mended walls with their wall anchors merit a closer look. HWW!

Looks like the weight of Madonna was causing the walls to spread, but a fine capture never the less, HWW!

The best way to discover anywhere: off touristic track, the place where unsuspected treasures can be found like you did.

Fantastic shot and timing! Is the cover also meant to provide night illumination to the statue? HWW, Gavin!
