The Minolta Years - Natal em Veneza, 1978 (Part Three)

..


I never had so much bridges to cross in my life!
Jorge's kinderwagen and my cameras seemed to weight a ton.
At the end of the day my legs would be exhausted and I would feel wet to the bones.
My back would ache and I would starve.

But what a sight! What a magical sensation!
Everything I saw was just dazzling.
How I gazed with wonder...

Venice might be drowning, but it's place in eternity is unquestionably guaranteed!

“Mr. Spaceman”
Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light coming down from the sky
I don't know who or why

Must be those strangers that come every night
Those saucer shaped lights put people uptight
Leave blue-green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home all right

Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride

Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window, they'd written my name
Said, so long, we'll see you again
(Words and music by Roger McGuinn)
From the album “Fifth Dimension” by THE BYRDS, 1966

  4. Rui Morais,
    Nunca vi fotografias de Veneza comparáveis co as suas e já vi muitas.
    Estão belas, belas, belas.

    Veneza com nevoeiro, que fantástico, a água, as pontes, tudo muito bonito.
    As fotografias são tão cristalinas... será que a cidade é assim?
