In Venice I photographed favorite things - gondolas, gondoliers, peeling buildings, canals of all sizes, windows full of masks or marzipan. So many pictures are really about reflection - the way water captures and extends the beauty of boats and buildings.
Tonight there's a full moon here in Seattle, turning the surface of the lake into cold wavy steel. A few flakes of snow fell this afternoon, and more may come tomorrow.
All weather looks more extreme through a window. Late this afternoon I bundled up and went out for a walk in the dry cold. Any winter day you can walk without getting wet is a plus.
Reading: Your Face Tomorrow, a trilogy by Spanish writer Javier Marias. The writing is complex, but compelling (one must admire the work of Marias' translator.) All I will say about plot is that parts of the books feel like James Bond adventures written by Henry James.
