There is something extremely calming about water. To be specific, water in motion: flowing rivers, waterfalls or even just listening to the rain fall and watching it puddle by the roadside. I can spend an endless amount of time (too much time perhaps) staring at water, watching it go on its way and listening to the music it makes.
Perhaps that’s the reason why I love Venice. There seems to be more water than land there (occasionally true when it floods) and a trip to relax at the water’s edge is literally at your doorstep. How nice it would be to end each day with a picturesque scene like this…
