We are in the midst of this pandemic and there is no doubt that these are trying times for many. That is why I would like to spread some positive news this week in my blog posts. This pandemic is devastating and stressful and is affecting many. However, the self-quarantining around the world has had some positive effects on the nature around it. For example, look at Venice. Although it is a beautiful city Venice has murky waters. This city is built around the canals so there is plenty of traffic on the waterways, such as water taxis, boats, and of course, the gondolas for the tourists. However, since the everyone is in isolation the has traffic stopped, and for the first time in decades the water is clear. You can see the fish through the water and some swans and ducks have come on the canals. Though this is due to a reduction in pollution, as the air is less polluted from the boats and water taxis, the another reason the canals are clear is because of the lack of movement. The reduction of traffic has caused the canal water to settle and the dirty parts to go to the bottom. So at least the city’s canal system is benefiting from this isolation!
If that doesn’t out you in the Italian mood, here’s a Soundcloud I found of Italian-style music
