Photographs
All 26 photographs used on Venice Water Inform come from Wikimedia Commons, the shared media library of the Wikimedia projects. Each entry below names the author as given on Commons, links to the licence and links to the original file, where you will find the full-resolution image and its complete licence information.
For use on this site every photograph was resized, to 1600 and 800 pixels wide, and recompressed for faster loading. No other changes were made: nothing was cropped, retouched or combined. The small thumbnails on this page are the 800-pixel versions.
