As the "Beast from the East" takes over Europe, snowy conditions form everywhere, even in places where its rare! My first day in Venice, was quite exciting as I ran around trying to capture the snowy conditions! I took this shot from a few angles, but one thing i noticed that i was doing that none of the other photographers around doing the same thing, was get above the post line to get a clear view of San Giorgio Maggiore, a church on its own island in Venice.
