Were life but as the gondola... - a photo on Flickriver

            a quintessential Venetian veduta: gondolas with the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore in the background
(the title is a verse from the poem "In a Gondola" by Arthur Hugh Clough)

San Giorgio Maggiore is a 16th-century Benedictine church on the island of the same name in Venice, Italy, designed by Andrea Palladio, and built between 1566 and 1610. The church is a basilica in the classical renaissance style and its brilliant white marble gleams above the blue water of the lagoon opposite the Piazzetta and forms the focal point of the view from every part of the Riva degli Schiavoni.
