Canals Of Venice

 Had a walk along the canals

- amazing place!

 Abbot Kinney founded the city at the start of the 20th century

in the hope that it would become the hub of an American

cultural renaissance

- the lagoon, the mock-Italian buildings and the canals

were all his doings,

as were the 2dozen gondoliers

imported from Italy

 Many of the original canals were filled in during the 1920s,

but luckily some of them still exist 

- this small network of waterways is very idyllic,

a completely different world from the beach area 

 It's true that not for a one second one feels

to be in Italy,

but that's not the point,

the neighbourhood has a character of its own

 Modern houses, old houses

 Some of the houses have a very bright colour

 A walking bridge over the water

 Houses in Classic style

 Walkway long the canals

 The canal area is located south-east of 

Venice Boulevard and Pacific Avenue

 The canals are named as

Carroll Canal,

Linnie Canal,

Howland Canal,

Sherman Canal,

Eastern Canal

and Grand Canal

 Regulations for people walking by the canals

 The water is very clear there
