The Guardian’s gallery of photos from Venice underwater is positively fascinating.  For one, keeping all that electrical work above the waterline so that residents don’t get electrocuted is amazing.  And I know the deluge is a regular event, but this year’s floods are the worst seen in years, and… climate change, anyone?
