Canaregio River seen during the 42nd annual Venice Vogalonga in #Venice, Italy. 42 years ago, a group of #Venetian rowers, both amateur and professional, came up with the idea of a non-competitive race in which any kind of #rowboat can take part. The first-ever #Vogalonga began as a form of protest against the growing use of powerboats in Venice and the swell damage being done to the historic city. | May 15, 2016 | 📷: Awakening / #GettyImages
