I also photographed the square at night, with the people on the walkways- everyday things in Venice that, unfortunately I do not get too see everyday. The sea also bubbles up through stone drains in the square & in the courtyard of the Doge's Palace & through the floors in some of the hotels etc. that line the Grand Canal & front- apparently the sea runs underneath the city as well as surrounding it. I have eaten breakfast with my feet in half an inch of water, when I stayed in a hotel on the front. A lot of the photographs in my album feature the Aqua Alta but, honestly, Venice is dry most of the time- it's just at it's best when it's under a foot of water!
