Colour photo taken late at night, of an exterior house wall directly abutting a canal. The wall is made of ochre-grey stone, but seems to be almost entirely composed of windows, thirty or so in all, over three floors; the lower ones windows are small and square, and those the upper two storeys are narrow and elegantly arched. All are unlit, apart from a cluster of four just to the left of the centre of the frame, which are vibrantly lit from inside with a warm yellow glow. A vaporetto water bus, fuzzy with motion blur, streaks through the frame from right to left, its passenger cabin a bright fluorescent white, and with a neon red beacon on its roof, reflected also in the ink-black water of the canal. There is a strong juxtaposition between the still, old, warm-looking building, and the modern, moving, cold-coloured vaporetto.
