and warning them that every pretty song
is not one you should follow

I recognize the poet in you Brian, and you are right even though her song is pretty she is quite dangerous 😉

I want to say that he’s telling them a story as he ferries the kids to school. And in that story one of the characters asks another to look far beyond into the horizon as a great big noble dragon comes flying in…..that’s where he is pointing to..hehe.
The little boy on the side of the boat is still looking at the water, that’s the part of the story when the water elementals had called on for the dragon to come help them in their war against the evil enemies…he’s looking to see if he can see the water elves soldiers..hehe

Beautiful photo … never been to Venice – I also think it has to do with the children in the gondola .. but they don’t seem very interest – a carousel maybe or fun ride.
