San Giorgio Maggiore From The Lagoon By Moonlight, Venice 

James Jebusa Shannon captured San Giorgio Maggiore from the lagoon by moonlight, its silhouette rising against the night sky. The island with its basilica and prominent campanile tower stands as a beacon, its light piercing through the darkness. The tower is a recurring motif throughout history, from the Tower of Babel to medieval fortifications. It symbolizes human ambition, reaching for the divine, but it also represents safety and watchfulness. The reflections in the water create an ethereal doubling, suggesting a subconscious mirroring of the earthly and the spiritual realms. The moon, veiled behind the clouds, casts a soft glow, evoking feelings of mystery and introspection, engaging viewers on a deep, subconscious level. It is not only a celestial body but also a symbol that carries layers of emotional and psychological weight. The cyclical progression of symbols like the tower, the island, and the moonlight are constantly resurfacing and evolving. This continues to shape our collective memory and understanding of Venice.
