Beneath the arches .. these tiny figures are the crowd.

Waiting for the next gondola, there is the crowd.

Queuing for San Marco cathedral, the crowd extends three blocks away.

Boat traffic jam, because of the crowd.

The gondolas in line, the people filling the bridge: the crowd(s).

And finally the market at Rialto bridge: the final crowd. Venice is the crowd, I cannot imagine it without.
