Thank you all for your wonderful comments. I can honestly recommend a visit to this wonderful city. As we were on a cruise we only had a limited time to see everything we wanted to.

A stunning piece, Fred. Love the rich colors and the high perspective which is so very effective.

Thank Seok. When I took the photo I looked to my right and there was the watercolour artist Barry Herniman taking the same view!I didn't know at the time of booking the cruise that he would be giving demonstrations on board. He featured in the Sept. issue of The Artist. Lovely man.
