San Marcoready to emerge
from the morning mist
Scents of Coffee the hissing of a steamed-up espresso maker,
the comforting noise
of a spoon laid on a saucer,
stimulating olfactory senses
and then the collective sighof Java addicts around San Marco,
savouring that first sip of black gold

Nice photographs, interesting post. I am greeting
ReplyDeleteHow neat...the oldest paper, made from ancient blocks of wood, I sure would love a selection from that...how wonderful~
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place to have one's morning coffee!! Wish I were there right now! Great shots as always, Merisi! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteAre there any absinthe bars in Vienna?
ReplyDeleteSuch soft Venetian colors. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteBlack gold is the pleasure the world around. You seem to visit the greatest places with the greatest decor.
ReplyDeleteIf I lived in Venice, I would be breathless all the time (just from the beauty of the San Marco dome alone, not to mention the rest of the city) and I would need strong coffee to revive my senses.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind comments!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful weekend to you,
Merisi
That roof line of San Marco is one of my favorite sights. And the masses of tourists can't obscure it, thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteCatching up on your beautiful posts -- loved the slightly tipsy picnic!
San Marco is beautiful, no matter how many ants are busy on the piazza!
DeleteYour angles make photography into art.
ReplyDeleteThe first one, St. Marco -- all that upper right emptiness is necessary.
And the coffee... see, I am spiralling down into it, like a gull.
You devil.
Thank you, Cipriano!
DeleteI hope you found what you were hoping for, down in that rabbit hole, er, java bowl. ;-)
