Venice; City of Bridges

 

Bu gunlerde Jeanette Winterson'un "The Passion" adli romanini okuyorum. Okuyaniniz varsa bilirsiniz kitabin bir bolumu Venedik'te geciyor ve farkli anlatimi sayesinde adeta sihirli ve fantastik Venedik sokaklarinda buluyorsunuz kendinizi. Tam Venedik'e ucarken ben tam bu bolumu okuyordum ki su satirlar ilgimi cekti ve hemen altini cizdim ve yeni bir Venedik postumun da alt yapisini hemencecik kafamda olusturmus oldum. Koprulerin sehri Venedik.... 

"We didn't build our bridges simply to avoid walking on water. Nothing so obvious. A bridge is a meeting place. A neutral place. A casual place. Enemies will choose to meet on a bridge and end their quarrel in that void...For lovers, a bridge is a possibility, a metaphor of their chances. And for the traffic in whispered goods, where else but a bridge in the night?" 

"I'm telling you stories. Trust me"

 Jeanette Winterson, The Passion

Nowadays I'm reading a novel The Passion by Jeanette Winterson. The ones who already have read will remember that one part of the novel takes place in Venice and thanks to its magical language, you find yourself fantastic streets of Venice. While in plane to Venice, I was just reading that part and those lines I worte above took my attention and highlited. Also it gave me an idea about enabling this post. Here ! Here it is Venice; city of bridges...

Fotograf bombardimanina hazir misiniz ?

Are you ready for picture bombing ?

The most famous one Rialto

 Grand Canal from Rialto Bridge 

At the beginning you stop in every bridge and want to take a photo but then you are so getting used to view that it manages to make you part of it. 

 

Stopped at Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari to see wonderful architecture  and the "Assumption of the Virgin" by Titian.

And I believe, we deserve the best "gelato" in Venice 

Such a cool old couple chilling under the sun 

 

It's time to enjoy with the different art opportunities of Venice 

Let's first start with street art 

And some saloon art as well 

 

After New York and Bilbao we are at Venice Guggenheim 

and sharing couple of pics from its garden and terrace

 

Academia Bridge from the terrace of Guggenheim

My Venice

Yeni bir haftaya baslarken, hala Venedik' in bende biraktigi etkiden kurtulmaya calisiyorum. Ama bastan uyariyorum bur bir Venedik postu degil sadece ufak bir on gosterim diyelim :pAslinda bir haftaligina Paris'e gidecegim diye dusunurken JB'nin bana haftasonunu bir yerde gecirecegiz ama sen nereye gidecegini havaalaninda ogreneceksin dediginde aklima gelen ilk sey evlilik teklifi olmustu tabi. Adeta bir zombi gibi havaalanina geldigimde elime verilen Venedik biletiyle enerji topuna donusen, ne yapacagimi bilemeyip kendi kendine butun bir gunu ortalikta yalniz basina gulerek dolasan bir kadin olarak gecirdim :) Hic bilmediginiz bir yere yalniz basiniza vardiginizda karsinizda sizi seven ve bekleyen birinin olmasi ise paha bicilemez. Iste bu bir gunun baslangici. Butun gunu sehri kesfetmeye adayip, sonunda ise beni bekleyen muhtesem surprizden habersiz feribota atladim...

While opening a new week, I'm still trying to get rid of the impression of Venice on me. I must say from the beginnig this is not a Venice post, let's say this is just a trailer:p Actually, I was thinking of spending a week in Paris until JB told me that "we're going to spend a weekend in somewhere that you are going to learn in airport". So, the first thing comes to my mind was proposal of course. When I arrived to the airport in a zombie mood, I turn out to be an energy bomb with the Venice ticket given in check-in and spent all day with a strange smile on my face :) In addition to this, it was such a great feeling that it's good to be welcomed by someone you love after arriving somewhere you don't know. Here it is the beginnig of the day. After dedicating ourselves to discover this wonderful city, in the end I took ferry without knowing anything about the amazing surprise waiting for me... 

Ilk gun Venedik'e oglenden sonra vardigimiz ve yorgun oldugumuz icin cok ayrintili gezemedik ama zaten bu post teklife ozel olsun istedim :) Arayi acmadan paylasacagim ikinci post ise tam bir Vendik postu olacak bundan emin olun.

Water Taxi was the first thing make me surprise in this magical city 

Walking through Palazzo Ducale, this bridge connects two buildings which were once used as prisons. Called the Bridge of Sighs, this Baroque stone bridge received its name from prisoners' sighs as their only view of the lagoon was through the barred windows.

 

The exhibition of Manet in Museo di Palazzo Ducale was another beauty of the day

Little lunch break 

 Inside of the Basilica Di San Marco 

 Could be any other better place to propose ?

 And after proposal dinner 

Here it is; star of the night (I still agree that sharing it is not a proper behavior but still... ) 

 Turning back to our hotel  Londra Palace
