Today we went paddling in the northern lagoon, around the island of Torcello, with the oldest church in the Venetian lagoon.

The Cathedral of Torcello dates back to the 800s.

A placid lagoon canal,lined with trees which are reflected in the water. Several boats of local fishermen are moored on the shore, under the trees. The sky is grey and cloudy. A front of a kayak appears in the foreground.

A view of the lagoon. The upper two thirds are a cloudy sky with a blue tint, which reflects in the water in the lower third of the frame. Several posts and canal markers, one with a grey heron resting on top. To the right, some bushes on the side of the canal.
