Looks like the settling of the city has made using those tunnels hazardous. Looks like from the picture high tide completely fills them. Oh, I did a little photoshop touch-up on the little picture and it shows more detail. -


I've probably asked you this before, but have you read 'The Shadow of the Lion'? It's about 1537 Venice and the efforts of an unlikely pair of brothers to save the city from an invader. Mercedes Lackey, David Freer and Eric Flint. I liked it and the sequel.

Oh, that's neat! (I do like seeing what you do with photos.)

Extreme high tides are always a problem in Venice, but normal high tides, this passage is still navigable. We rowed through within an hour or so of high tide last night and [livejournal.com profile] geesepalace was only a little bent over to do so - and he was rowing Venetian-style, so stood up to row.

I think you have, and I still haven't read it, so thank you for the reminder.

[Just tried posting a comment and it isn't showing up. How annoying. I'll try again.)

The low arch may not be quite as low as it looks. [livejournal.com profile] geesepalace rowed through within an hour or so of high tide last night. He was rowing Venetian-style, so standing up, and only needed to bend over a little bit to fit.

During high tide, yes, it almost certainly is impassable.

I think you have recommended the book before, but I still haven't read it, so thank you for the reminder.
