I made some icons from photos that [livejournal.com profile] mraltariel took in Venice last year.

Molto bene! I love the one with the arches and the perspective.

Thank you! That one with the arches is a much bigger picture with loads of tourists (including me) walking along an arcade. You can just spot a couple of heads in the bottom right corner.

"O sages standing in God's holy fire
As in the gold mosaic of a wall,
Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre,
And be the singing-masters of my soul"

Darn tetrarchs, I never did find them! I think the facade was being repaired when I was there.. where the statue was moevd to (I guess) I don't know. Or covered up? Disappointing.

The hugging dudes? IIRC, they were on the side of St Mark's.

That whole corner was covered over with plywood when I was in Venice - they were cleaning or repairing that section of St. Mark's and.. I'm going to say the loggia that connects it with the Doge's Palace.

Another thing that happened on that trip was that I suffered through the whole tour through the Pitti Palace, only to find that the Titian I was looking forward to had been removed for cleaning! (Icon is the Titian.)

Oh no! I had a touch of heatstroke while I was there, but I was too excited to care.

When I was in Berlin, the Brandenburg Gate was covered in tarpaulin.

Lovely icons!

I realize after several days of the NaArMaMo posts of yours that I am not figuring out what that stands for. What does it stand for?

(Yes, I could Google it, but that can be such a conversation killer...)

Is it too late for me to join in? By some strange coincidence, I've been making a little art lately.

I am sure that it is not too late at all!

More info here.

Winged lions!!!! I'm saving all of them - even though I have no spaces left, they are just too gorgeous to pass up...

Thank you! I'm really pleased with how they look as a group. [livejournal.com profile] mraltariel took all the photos, and did a beautiful job, I think.

Ooh, those are so pretty. Aww, hugging emperors.

They're lovely - both as a set of icons and as a glimpse of your stay there.

Thanks! I like them lined up too, like a distillation of our holiday. It was a wonderful trip.
