A Boatman & His Dog Cruising Along in the Cannaregio Sestiere, Venice

[This is the first of three images at this post.....scroll down for the other two, taken in the same district, the northern Sestiere, Canareggio.]

Here we are along the Rio della Misericordia, a main thoroughfare in this neighborhood. It was a quiet winter morning, and the boatman you see is all hunched up against the wind, with his hat and jacket on - barely visible next to the real skipper of the boat, his friendly and alert furry companion.
Where I live, men and their dogs are generally seen in trucks, along the highway. In Venice, where there are no trucks or cars, it is the boatmen, going to work doing construction, or deliveries, that are often accompanied by their furry friends. Despite the cold, this sweet dog was standing proudly up against the prow, making sure the way was clear!! :o) I couldn't resist taking a picture!
Here is a link that gives information about this district: www.tours-italy.com/venice/guide_cannaregio.htm .

These are the living waterways of everyday Venice, where the everyday people in their little boats (and dogs!) get around, doing their errands and going to work. Just wonderful to explore this very typical and authentic part of living Venice.

Here is a translation provided by a Flickr friend, an administrator of the group L'altra Venezia - The Other Venice whose photostream is here www.flickr.com/photos/vamohm/. (THANKS! :O) very much Francesca!) : [queste è la prima di tre immagini a questo post. ....scorrere per vedere le altre due, fatte nella stessa zona, il sestiere Cannaregio nella parte nord della città].

Qui siamo lungo Rio della Misericordia, uno dei canali principali n questo vicinato. Era una mattina d’inverno tranquilla, e il barcaiolo che si vede nella barca è tutto l'incurvato su se stesso, controvento, imbacuccato con cappello e giacca - appena visibile dietro al vero capitano della barca, il suo peloso compagno, amichevole e sveglio. Dove vivo, gli uomini ed i loro cani sono visti generalmente nei camion, lungo l'autostrada. A Venezia, dove non ci sono camion o automobili, sono i barcaioli, mentre vanno al lavoro, nei cantieri o a fare consegne, che sono accompagnati dai loro amici pelosi. Malgrado il freddo, questo cane dolce stava in piedi fieramente sulla prua, assicurandosi che la via fosse libera!! : O) Non ho potuto resistere ed ho preso questa foto! Ecco un link riguardo questo sestiere di Venezia: (in inglese): www.tours-italy.com/venice/guide_cannaregio.htm .

Questi sono le vie navigabili viventi di Venezia di tutti i giorni, dove le persone normali nelle loro piccole barche (ed i cani)! va in giro, facendo le loro commissioni ed andando a lavorare. È meraviglioso esplorare queste parti tipiche ed autentiche della Venezia reale.
