Ariel View Venice's Lido

I had obviously read and seen a lot of information about Venice before I went but it wasn’t until flying home that I saw this, the Lido. It is an 11 mile long sandbar which is (according to my grand parents) where a lot of Venetians go for their summer holidays, or at least that was traditionally where they went. Ariel photography has always been something of interest too me even though I rarely get the opportunity to take pictures from a plane.

This photograph was taken on a holiday with my grandparents and whilst on the trip I wrote a small diary, below follows what I wrote for this day…

We got up early to pack our bags and check out of the hotel. We left by half eight and needed to be at the airport for around half nine. The original plan was to get a public bus as we had done coming into Venice but instead we got a taxi (note, not an expensive water taxi, it was a normal taxi).

We took of from Venice at just after midday and as the weather was so great I got some nice ariel photographs through the planes window both of the Venetian lagoon and of Cheshire and Cheadle when landing back in Manchester.
