Venice Carnival

I was always dreaming to visit Venice carnival which is always going in February and this year very accidentally I found myself in Venice at 4th of February There are high spots like the Balls, the Grand opening and closing ceremonies - but I went with my camera to capture the spirit. People appear in full costume with/without masks as you wander through the streets and canals. Others capture this on cameras. There are photo shoots- very early in the morning - and it seems to be by word of mouth where other shoots take place. Most times it was fun but - amateurs pretending to be paparazzi saw a few scuffles break out!! "Before breakfast "I thought!! A lot of action takes place in St Mark's Square at night - the collonades are lit with cascades of light, there is a centre stage and everything is alive. It's very surreal, fantastic and I am.very glad I have experienced it. Maybe one year I shall take a costume, buy a mask and wander the streets to be photographed and adored! It was great experience and I definitely recommend you to try it next year. Just remember that it’s really freezing in Venice that time #mytripvlog #venice #carnival
