Venician Angel

Venice, italy

I was shooting within the cemetatry walls.

The shrill cries of gulls wheeling overhead
intrigued me, but i could not see them.
When I scrambled to locate the gulls above,
I found myself at the foot of a mauseleum.

My intention was to photograph the gulls,
but when I aimed my lens, a angel was
framed perfectly against the fogged sun.
