Ah, Venice. "La Dominante", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Bridges", "City of Canals"... the list goes on. For a long time the setting of two Shakespeare plays, it can now add to its accolades by claiming to be the setting of a Prasiam Seshadrispeare genre.

Fortunately, in this Canal View the mini-Venice you will be constructing does not have bridges, 🌉❌ because jovi_al stole them the tourists here are strangely obsessed with staying put for hours and counting how much water they can see.

Rules: Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells connected in a straight line horizontally or vertically to the clue. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.
