Venice, View from St Mark's Campanile

I can see some satellite dishes.

Where?

My all-time favourite piece of music - www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqRjwvAMgnA, the second movement in particular. This was I think recorded in the late 1940's and hence no video footage.

I wouldn't want you to spend all night on it, but a quick glance shows at least five still there.

My favourite is www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAoLJ8GbA4Y

I can see many white Venetian chimney cappings but no satellite dishes that I haven't removed.

Nice.

Catchy tune (though the lyrics are hardly Shakespearian) but I used to hate the Rolling Stones with a passion. They represented (and quite deliberately so) everything I despised.

See note. How many have you removed so far, and how long did it take you?

Yes, I knew you didn't like Mick Jagger, so I chose one without his mug on it.

Half a dozen. About 5 minutes. The Italians (to their credit, at least) are starting to use dark red (rather than white) coloured satellite dishes which are less visible against tiled roofs.

Thanks for your consideration. I've never met Michael Jagger, who might be a reasonably decent man behind his public image, but "Mick" with his bloated fish-mouth and loutish voice makes me reach for a sick bag.

I can only see black ones. See note.

First I removed the white ones, because I was l looking for them. Then I removed the dark red ones, when I became aware of those. Finally, and ditto, the one black one.

I think there was more than one black one. I've just noted another one.

And another red one, now deleted.

There are plenty of aerials left in this shot, both attached and unattached, but as easy as they are to remove when they're against the sky or other plain background, they're an absolute b****r when against pantiles and to remove all of them would be a full day's work, which the picture doesn't merit.

The only place in Europe that I know of where there's been the sense to ban these desecrations is here:

EH would say you were potty if you spent the whole day doing it.
You should go out fishing instead.

If it's taken from the air (or from a tall tower, perhaps) then it's aerial photography.
