Gondolas in retro sci-fi art: It’s a subgenre of 70s sci-fi art I’m making happen through sheer force of will. That last one even has a rudder, that’s how hard I’m working. Credits in captions.

Two traditional black gondolas are moored along the right bank.
The canal is lined with classic Venetian buildings featuring sun-bleached facades in shades of ochre and cream. There are characteristic details like:
Dark wooden shutters.
Small stone balconies with decorative railings.
Flower boxes with green foliage.
In the lower part of the frame, the rusted, ornate metal railing of the bridge provides a sense of depth, framing the view into the distance where another gondolier appears to be navigating further down the canal.
