Arrival of vaporetto No. 1
Arrival of vaporetto No. 1 - Venice, 2004
I missed the email announcement for this week’s VFXY Photos theme of “Destruction” so I am a day late with this submission. You can see all the entries for the current VFXY theme at /photos.vfxy.com/themes/.
Venice is not the place you expect to find allegories for the destruction of the psyche by the pressures and confusion of modern life. Taken in mid-winter, the people in this picture are commuters arriving to start their work day, not tourists. The condition of the Vaporetto stop with its shattered glass can be found on many run down, big city, subway systems and bus routes; the only difference in Venice is that it is on a canal.
