Golden Hour over the Venetian Lagoon

            The sun descends toward the horizon, casting a warm amber glow across the rippling waters of the Venetian Lagoon. The iconic skyline of Venice stretches across the frame, with the distinctive dome of Santa Maria della Salute and the soaring Campanile di San Marco punctuating the silhouette. The sky transitions from deep golden hues near the sun to soft pinks and purples above, while dramatic clouds catch and scatter the fading light. The water reflects this spectacular display, its gentle waves creating a shimmering path of gold that leads the eye toward the historic cityscape. This tranquil moment captures Venice at its most magical—when the dying light transforms the floating city into a dreamlike vision of Renaissance grandeur meeting natural beauty.

The panorama was combined out of several independent shots with PTGUI.
