D.C. area galleries: Evocative images from around the world

When winds and tides send the Adriatic into Venice, the canal-laced city's most famous plazas become ponds, and pedestrians stride though several ­inches of water.

But in fact the Swedish-born artist made the images at Venice Beach, in bone-dry Southern California.
