Hotel Sofitel, Gatwick Airport

Our last day in Venice was a long one. Our flight was not due out until 22:35 and in the end it was late leaving meaning we did not land until early this morning. We stopped at the Sofitel Hotel rather than try to drive back to the West Midlands. In my younger days I might have tried but I've expereinced that horrible feeling of falling asleep at the wheel and didn't intend to risk it.

The hotel is built around a central atrium, and they call the main floor, the Podium. It leant itself to a fisheye treatment.

I've started to catch up with your journals. If you're interested I've put a few other images from Venice on Flickr.
