Bubbles, Fun and Upside Downs in Venice - A South African's experience

The element of Water, present in canals, punctuated by bridges, or soap bubbles made by a street entertainer, became the theme I focussed on during a recent trip to Venice. The distortions reflections in both the canals and the soap bubbles created a sense of drama, in a fun sort of way, but at once also reminded me of the fragility of our existence. Short-lived like a soap bubble is our existence, but not without excitement and a sense of awe.
