The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon. It is typically propelled by a gondolier, who uses a rowing oar, which is not fastened to the hull, in a sculling manner and also acts as the rudder. [Wikipedia]

Gondolas are one of the most iconic symbols of Venice, and there’s no better way to experience the city than by taking a ride through its canals. But for those who want to capture the magic of Venice without getting wet, photographing gondolas is the next best thing.
