I am really glad I decided to visit this beautiful island again on this trip because of the surprise I found when going inside the church. I even I returned again on Wednesday!

Here are some photos I took Tuesday while on the island.

When I walked inside the church, this is what I found…

It is called Ascension and was created by Anish Kapoor. Not something you find every day in a church! Not thinking, I took the video sideways. I don’t know how many times I have done this now, but it has been a lot! I went back the following day to take another video the correct way but the Acension was not working properly while I was there. Fortunately, I found out when I got home that iMovie allows you to rotate the video.

There was a girl sitting at a table near the door with information about this exhibit. She also told me that there were two more exhibits on the island. The first was called Real Venice (link I had no longer works) and the second was called Penelope’s Labour – Weaving Words and Images.

So out of the church I went to find these two exhibits. They were both located to the left of the church down by where many of the boats are docked.

The Real Venice exhibit was one of my favorite exhibits I visited while in Venice this year. There were some amazing photographs. I spend quite a bit of time enjoying them.

I probably spent a bit too much time in this exhibit because when I continued on, following the little arrows, I arrived at the Penelope’s Labour exhibit too late. It just closed for the day. I would just have to return again.

The views from the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore are pretty cool. Here are a few photos I took Tuesday afternoon.

I returned again to this island on Wednesday check out the Penelope’s Labour exhibit. It was a very interesting exhibit and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Here are some photos I took on Wednesday, a beautiful sunny day when I returned to the island of San Giorgio Maggiore . This also shows the dramatic difference between a rainy/cloudy and and a beautiful sunny day in Venice.

I thought about going up to the top of the campanile (bell tower) while I was there but I was not sure if Sandra wanted to do this. She was arriving later in the day and would be in Venice with me for 4 days.

Below are a few photos I took Wednesday while on the island.
