"Acqua Alta comes.
Tourists tiptoe through water,
leaving small ripples."

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Venice, Italy. It shows the central square, Piazza San Marco. In yesterday's POTD, I described the city as "Venice floating low," referring to the city's penchant for flooding. The Piazza San Marco is not meant to be submerged, but it often is, due to climate change, high tides and sinking land. The day we were there started with one small puddle (small in relation to the huge size of the square). But during the afternoon, it had grown to fill most of the square. That's not good for the city. That's not good for tourism. But it is good for capturing photos like this.
A bonus photo is after the jump.
