Flooding. Reflection of chairs and the St Mark's Basilica building in a pool of water in Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square), Venice, Italy. The Piazza San Marco is the lowest point in Venice and is the first to flood during the Acqua Alta (high, spring tides) from storm surges or heavy rain. During this time, water from the canals rise and surge up into the square.
