| A typical altar from a small church near the fish market that is reported to be the oldest in Venice. | Church tower near Ca D'Oro. | I love this picture because it captures perfectly the excess that Italians seem to so love in their churches. Still, it works somehow. | Typical streetside shrine. |

| Another shrine, in the wall of a house. | Another altar shot, from Brett, who didn't mind taking pictures inside a church as much as I did. | This was on a corner near our hotel. | Over the doorway to a beautiful church called Mary Miracoli, where the locals told us that half of Venice gets married. |

| A statue of Mary, canalside. | The front of Mary Miracoli - the Mary bust from the previous row is just over the door. | A sneak picture of me taken inside one of the churches. | |
