A Class Act


This is a photo I took of St. Mark's Square in Venice, one of my favorite cities. Note St. Mark's Campanile,  also known as the belltower, one of the most recognizable icons of the city. I love Venice so much that I often return there in my mind, and I will seek out anything that reminds me of the beloved city.  

I was in downtown Denver this past weekend. I've always been intrigued by the belltower there that reminds me of the one in Venice.  I wanted to see it up close and personal.   

So off I went...

Almost there...

Finally I arrive.  My search for an oasis of class and culture within a metropolis of cold glass has ended.  This is what greeted me in the window:    

The Aphrodite of Accordian?  Definitely not what I had in mind...
