I could spend some serious time here ...

Another house on a side canal. One of many canal-side buildings in Venice where the first floor has been abandoned or is used (carefully, with precautions for flooding) only for storage.
Acqua alta, the curse of Venice.
Venice is sinking. Come enjoy it while you can. Here's hoping we find some way to keep it afloat.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
