This was a beautiful town located up in the Alps. |

The views of the mountains were almost to amazing to believe. |

This flat-faced Alp was just incredibly huge! |

It was so gorgeous and quiet down in the valley here. |

And also very, very cold! This is a big waterfall that was frozen. |

Venice Pics
Taken: 01.21.05 - 01.23.05 |
Location: Venice, Italy |
Well, here we are in Venice. :) |
|
It was very beautiful there with waterways around every corner. |
|
The gondolas were very cool too. We took one out on the evening of Liz's birthday which was great stuff. :D |
|
The beautiful sunset on the first night we were there. |
|
Checked out San Marcos square which was really cool at night. Liz and I attempted to dance a little, but it was bad, lol. |
|
Gorgeous sunrise on Saturday morning. |
|
I walked around by myself and got ome great early morning photos before the crowds. |
|
Don't know what this place was called, but it looked neat. |
|
The sunrise around Doge's Palace. |
|
A cool tower in San Marcos square. |
|
Lots of gondolas lined up. :) |
|
So many stupid tourists in San Marcos square feed the pidgeons and then get mobbed. It's rather entertaining. :P |
|
Liz and I with Doge's Palace behind us. |
|
The palace was really amazing inside and out. |
|
I couldn't take pictures inside of it though. :-/ |
|
This was from inside of Doge's in the common area. |
|
Cool statue in the main area of Venice. |
|
We went to the island of Murano where they're worldwide famous for glass-blowing. |
|
It was really amazing to watch. :) |
|
This guy made this beautiful horse in like 3 minutes. It was ludicrous. |
|
The island was just beautiful and very peaceful. |
|
It was great to get away from the commercial hubbub of downtown Venice. |
|
Liz was dandy there. |
|
The sunrise this morning (Sunday) was pretty cool. |
|
I like this picture lots. |
|
This is cool too. |
|
More gondolas and sunrises. :) |
|
This is the famous Bridge of Sighs. We walked through it as we toured Doge's Palace. |
|
Got back to Switzerland this afternoon and my favorite peak looked cool in the clouds. :) |
