Colour photo. In the centre of the image, a wooden mooring post, like a deep black line running from top to bottom of the frame, at the head of a V-shape of four other posts going back into the silvery gently rippled water of a wide canal. On the left of the frame, a moored black gondola. In the mid ground is the Salute basilica, with its two majestic domes, with the setting yellow-haloed sun just above it, making the building shimmer grey in the hazy light, and leaving a streak of golden flecks on the water. Further back, the low skyline of Giudecca island in the distance, and pale grey sky above.
