New on 500px : Day 5 @ Venice, Italy by MarjaSchwartz by MarjaSchwartz

Situated in Italy’s northeast, Veneto extends from the Dolomites to the Adriatic Sea, by way of an expansive range of hills and a valley furrowed by rivers, canals and the Po River Delta. 
The typical scenery of Veneto’s coast is the Venetian lagoon, and, right on this very lagoon stands perhaps the most unique city in the entire world – Venice, visited by millions of tourists every year.

Festa della Sensa used to be a feast of the Republic of Venice held on the occasion of the Ascension Day. It has been revived in modern times (1965). A colorful procession of decorated boats leaves from St. Mark’s Square and sails to the Port of San Nicolo, Lido, where a gold ring is tossed into the sea in a ceremony known as the “Marriage of the Sea”.

A panoramic view on the Festa della Sensa in Venice, 1 June 2014.
The photo is 9322x1493px large.

Pity that 500px does not offer any enlargement for panoramas, since its details and sharpness are much better than presented here on the page.
