Baghdad's 'Little Venice'
Uncle Jimbo from Black Five was looking for information on Baghdad's 'Little Venice'. This area isn't the sewage-filled or disgusting place it was rumored to be. Sure, it's located in Baghdad, and inevitably there will be some stuff dumped into the water somewhere, but this place is more relaxing than anything else. It looks like it's a direct flow out of the Euphrates, which is located nearby. The temperature is also significantly cooler due to the water and shade.
Welcome to Venice, Baghdad.
Kids feeding the ducks. Don't let the MSM know this is going on.
Winding Canals.
If only the rest of Baghdad was this peaceful.

Wow. What a beautiful place. Great pictures.
Perhaps, one day, Baghdad will be that quiet and peaceful.
