As a proof, watch the stunning photos of Venice carnival by Eleanor Marriott. You will meet a lot of happening, colors, music, and everything needed to create an atmosphere kindling the photographer inside you. You should be there for the carnival on 15^th February and can stay up to 4^th March to enjoy the festival, take photos, meet people and have fun.

So, it’s carnival season again and professional photographer Eleanor Marriott is capturing the essence of the Venice Carnival with her images covering everything from the processions to the people in costume, to the costumiers and mask makers themselves.

The key attraction of Venice Carnival is the beautiful masks. People are allowed to remain masked from 5^th October till Christmas and then immediately from the next day i.e. from St. Stephen’s Day (26^th December) till the carnival, and so, they can spend a lot of time in disguise. Naturally mask makers have a special status in the Venetian society. They have their own laws and also their own guild. So, Eleanor Marriott has captured the two most important elements of the carnival – the masks and the mask makers, which are interesting to observe.

On any occasion, children’s photos are always attractive and if they are dressed for the occasion, they look even more fascinating. Eleanor has captured such wonderful children’s photos too during the carnival.

Whether it is children or adults, chocolates are everyone’s favorite. And carnival is a not-to-miss opportunity to enjoy chocolates, candies and cookies.

And after all, whether it is carnival or not, Venice has its own unending charm with its canals and gondolas. Have a look at these wonderful photos of the world-famous waterways and transportation.
