On the carnival days, as so many crowds gathers to Piazza San Marco, the canal town of Venetia is seemed to sink under the water. The group people and individuals are disguising each according to his / her own fancy and walking around the town. There is no parade for this carnival. You can buy your favorite masks at a souvenir shops of the back streets and can join to the carnival. An old man can be a goddess who are decorated by flowers. At the twilight of the end of winter, the mist come into the town from the North Alps. Under the gas lights of the streets, there are travelers who are still disguising and straying their fancy worlds.
