On February 15, 2026, around 10:00, a wide view of Venice opens from the water: a calm lagoon with a rich turquoise tone, a few boats leaving long pale trails across the surface, to the left a continuous line of historic buildings with bell towers and domes, to the right an island with a church and monastic complex, all under shifting cloud cover with cold winter light breaking through in places, creating a soft contrast and the feeling of a crisp, clear morning; just before the end of the trip, the rain finally stopped, and the islands of Venice revealed themselves in full, unobstructed view.
