Mary-Ann, all your other videos have been just fine but this one has a banner saying: “The creator of this video has not given you permission to embed it on this domain. This is a Vimeo Plus feature.”
I was able to click on “All Along the Grand Canal”, type in the password on Vimeo and see it that way. Hope all can see it. It is the most awesome video ever. You are quite the videographer, Ms Moss. Can’t believe the lack of people. December is definitely the time to be there!
P.S. – you have to stay another month. We haven’t seen nearly enough!
Thanks so much for that work-around – it’s a great video!
To be taken so Beauty-Fully around what could be the least wheelchair-accessible city on our Earth, is really really really sweet.
And to be serenaded so Peacefully!
Beyond the Beyond.
Ahhhhhhh.
Thank you.

…it was a lovely ride! thank you and merry christmas! ~joy
me too -what Stephen said — I cannot access the video….
What a wonderful ride that was. The buildings are just magnificent!. There are picture postcards every where you look. Thanks again and again for taking us on this trip with you. Merry Christmas to you.
Oh my! What a gorgeous Christmas present. xoxo The architecture is so stunning and the glass work a feast for the eyes and so much more. Loved the gondoliers red and white scarf and the Captain’s handling of the wheel…yikes! Thank you.
For those of you who are having difficulty accessing – just click on ‘ALL ALONG THE GRAND CANAL’ which is in red – it will take you to vimeo and a space which will ask you for your password. Beautiful trip MA – enjoyed it – in face I think I’ll just keep taking the trip all night. Merry Christmas Mary Ann. xoDonna
Thank you MAM for the thoughtful and beautiful glimpse into your days.
Watched it twice. Tears. In my. Eyes.
I can’t access it — it says Sorry, I don’t have permission. Please reupload, or whatever you have to do.
Me too. It just says sorry. Hope the canal was lovely!

Wow! That was fabulous! The music was perfect. You are such a master – i was so impressed that you are half way around the world and can still do a video WITH music! That video was really a special treat. I got a much better feel of what is like. Thank you!
Oh my! Such a delight to watch as my Christmas here in Maryland comes to an end. I so love this arm side traveling. It takes me away with you so wonderfully. Hope your Christmas has been fabulous!
*sigh*
Beautiful…..Merry Christmas.
I had the same “do not have permission” message until I read Pat P’s message and clicked on the “All Along the Grand Canal”, link and typed in the password. Thank you Pat.
It was a lovely video and such calming music, just what I needed after spending all morning in the kitchen and all afternoon trying to fulfill all the requests the little children of our family’s ask for over and over. It’s been a lovely Christmas, but I’m old and tired and needed the calm and quiet of this video, thank you MAM.
Oh, this was such a perfectly beautiful way to finish off Christmas Day. Thank you SO much for taking us along.
i finally figured out how to access the video….thank you, thank you, thank you. this was a christmas present that no one but YOU could have given me! beautiful music, great filming. all those buildings so close to the water, made me wonder if there is ever flooding?
again thanks for taking me on the ride along the grand canal.
I’m snuggled in bed and just finished watching the video. The serenity of the journey seems such a fitting way to end Christmas day. Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and to all.
Enchanting and ever so sweet. I couldn’t ask for a more enjoyable way to end a very long day, in fact I am going to go watch it again since everyone has now turned in for the night and it’s just me and the pooch here…all cozy and tucked into our jammies. 🙂
Really enjoyed that. you are a great documentary film maker! and I so want to boot Venice in the winter.
How did go to become boot in autocorrect?
Lovely, lovely! I could feel my body relax and my soul open wide as I listened to the music and enjoyed floating on the water with you! What was the music, please share 😉
Beautiful! Really brought me back… just love the waterways there! Your videos with the winter skies and subtle colors have the feeling of many old postcards. I love that you are there at a time without so many crowds so we can really enjoy the sights!
Not sure how many more days you have left there so don’t forget to get out to Burano! It will be like going from Kansas into Oz when you see all the colors!
What a beautiful video, Mary Ann. Thank you. What struck me (beyond the beauty) was the lack of Christmas decorations – which are everywhere here.
certainly robin, the music is BALMORHEAH song is Baleen Morning
What a surreal ride!
So beautiful…thank you MAM

Mary Ann, I am a day late seeing this lovely, calm, peaceful video. What a perfect sweetness of Venice you have shared here. I love the whole thing, and especially feel aware of the lack of tourists. It feels like we are getting a picture of the real Venice, the one people want to be a part of for their moment there. How clearly you have discovered your own preferred moments for being someplace……offering you the opportunity to be, and us too the chance to wander soulfully with you as our ” angel ” guide. Thank you, Mary Ann. This video is so satisfying in ways that language can’t reach. I loved the quiet views of Venetians towards the close.
Thank you for this meditation in winter.
Stunning video. Are you using iMovie for editing? Also, what is it like to record while traveling? Do people look at you like a tourist in any kind of negativity? I loved the shot of the steering wheel on the boat.
briana i have thankfully reached the stage in life as an almost 50 year old where i dont care what anyone thinks about what im doing with my camera, but..years ago i was nervous about appearing like a tourist
with my shattered lens i do sort of stand out. ha ha ha
here in venice its inescapable. the city in truth is overrun with tourists most of the time and in certain areas even at this time of year there are plenty walking around.
i feel perfectly okay looking like a tourist because I AM ONE.
i myself find people taking pics of each other and of everything around them quite endearing and lovely.
curious eyes that want to take in the whole world.
a four minute vacation / meditation.
mesmerizing.
Wow – thank you just beautiful.
You literally just brought tears to my eyes and shivers to my body. You are living my dream. Thank you! Awhile ago, I watched a documentary about the rigorous requirements and the history behind being a Gondolier. It is quite fascinating, if anyone is interested in reading up on. Thank you MAM – I adore you!(And the paper was meant for you to find – I don’t doubt that) 🙂
I swear I could smell the water and feel the gentle rocking motion of the boat.
Beautiful! I was there on Christmas Day 18 years ago… So nice to see same old buildings from the water. Thank you,.
Love the canal tour. You are such a great videographer and editor. I felt as though I were riding along with you!

LOVELY!
Finally getting a chance to get caught up. I am swooning over this video and song. Thank you so very much for sharing!
What a wonderful video!!! You have filled me with fantasies of independent traveling…..what music did you use for this film?
So funny to see a gondolier in the traditional costume, talking on a cell phone!
I wonder if I would feel seasick while traveling over the water. I sure hope not because Venice is on my list of places to see before I die!
