Unusual weather has left some of Venice's legendary canals dried out forcing gondolas to park up on dry land.

Cold winter weather, low tides caused by the 'super blue blood moon' and little rain have caused the storied waterways to drop by up to 23in in some cases.

Photographs taken this week have shown the Queen of the Adriatic looking a shadow of her normal self, with boats covered up and even languishing on the muddy bottoms of empty canals.

It is the third year in a row the strange phenomenon has struck Venice.

Two years ago, water levels were reported as 28in below normal levels, curtailing transport by gondola or water taxi for days.

This post gat me drifting on a nostalgic memory of some highschool classic novels

Shakespear's masterpiece "The merchant of Venice" a tale of heartless Shylock wanting a pound of flesh from Anthonio if he fails to meet the deadline of a loan.. a smokescreen ploy to kill Anthonio his rival and have jessica whom the both longed for..

Anthonio couldnt meet the deadline but wanted paying shylock twice the amount as compensation for the delay.. but shylock insisted he no longer needs the money that he wants the pound of flesh cos the deadline was not met.. and it led to a litigation

But the twist of it was when Antonio's shrewd lawyer said their was no clause in the agreement that Anthonio should loose blood when shylock will get his pound of flesh and that was how shylock lost the case cos he cant get his pound of flesh witout shedding Anthonio's blood

Pusssy causing rift between best of frnds since time immemorial

Water Streets..
So Sweet

They should device a means for manual source of water....
The beauty of the town is the water that surrounds it.

Climate change isn't a joke.

Times are changing...

This brings back nostalgic memories, I remember reading that book many years ago.

Opportunity to clean up the smug in the canal!

Unbelievable. The drought must have unearthed a lot of things that used to be hidden beneath the surface of the water
