The Bridge of Sighs is a major landmark in Venice, Italy. It connects the Doge’s Palace with the New Prison. Legend has it that the bridge was so named because prisoners sighed as they crossed, enjoying a last look at the beautiful city.

For this particular shot, I wrapped my camera strap around my wrist and stuck my arm out a window. I particularly like the angle of the shot. I’m also quite thrilled that I didn’t drop my camera into the canal.

Bridge of Sighs- Clara K. Showalter 2010

The Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy connects the Doge’s Palace with the old prison. Legend has it that the convicted would look through the grates as they were transfered to the prison. A last sigh, and the beauty of Venice would be lost to them.
