This is a pretty dilapidated building on one of the zillion canals of Venice.  You can see the stucco and paint peeling, and I think it would be fair to say it was an unsightly building.

And yet, with a small change in perspective, I think it makes for an interesting photograph.

Sometimes, it is all about changing one's perspective in life.  Everything is relative.  If you don't like how things are, try changing the lens through which you view them.
