EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 2013, four gondoliers can be seen sitting in their traditional gondolas, nestled in the tranquil canal basin behind the iconic St. Mark's Square in Venice, Italy. The gondoliers, dressed in the traditional striped shirts, exude a sense of calm and relaxation as they wait for their next group of tourists. Three of the gondoliers wear dark blue striped shirts, while the fourth dons a striking red striped shirt, adding a pop of color to the scene. The men appear to be passing the time in their own ways - one reads intently from a book, another gazes at his mobile phone, and two seem lost in thought. The image captures the essence of Venice in the 2000s - a place where time seems to stand still, yet modern technology has found its way into even the most traditional of settings. The gondoliers, with their patient expressions and relaxed postures, embody the Italian concept of "dolce far niente" or the sweetness of doing nothing. The photograph, taken by renowned photographer Philip Dunn, is a testament to the timeless beauty of Venice and the unique charm of its gondoliers. The image invites viewers to imagine a world where patience and relaxation are valued above all else, and where the simple pleasures of life are savored. Whether you're a fan of Italian culture, photography, or just looking for a moment of escape, this photograph is sure to transport you to the enchanting world of Venice and its gondoliers.
