Venice bound...

My friends and I took the overnight train from Geneva for a day trip to Venice. It was cold and a bit rainy, but the night provided a quiet stillness in the air as we passed the quiet Italian towns. 

At one of the stops, I stepped out to take a shot of the beautiful and calm lighting as passengers hopped on the train. This was about three in the morning.

 Because of the rainy weather, Venice was a bit deserted with only a few folks tugging onto their coats and scarves tightly.  But I was glad to see fewer tourists so that I can experience this charming, floating city more intimately.
