    Torcello in kayak

    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.
