A puddle reflecting a Venetian night, St Marks Square

A puddle reflecting an evocative nightime view of St Marks Square, Venice. Taken on a warm summer evening in Piazza San Marco, looking out towards the Doge’s Palace and the Venetian Lagoon.
As Jonny Depp was famously quoted as saying, nightime is undoubtably the best time to visit Venice. There are very few tourists, bands play classical music in the main squares, and the lights from the restaurants, tourist shops, houses and ever present Venetian Lamps, play beautiful effects on the Venetian canal waters.
