Burano reflections

Posted on May 9, 2013 by Rachael

As I mentioned yesterday, Burano’s vibrancy is doubled by the reflections in its many canals.

It’s always fun to flip a reflections shot. Well, I like doing it anyway.

Zooming in close creates a more abstract look.

Or a wider view makes a more painterly image.
I have so many images of this lovely little island, but I don’t want to bore you! Tomorrow I will take a break to share with you some exciting news but then, if you can stand it, the weekend will see us back in Burano for one more visit.

We need not to conform! What we need is to burst out into all these beautiful colors! – C. Joybell C.

More colours of Burano

I couldn’t resist sharing more of Burano’s colourful houses, this time from a slightly wider perspective.

Some towers lean rather alarmingly.

Washing billows in the spring breeze.

With no cars, it’s a lovely place to stroll.

And cycling is popular too.

As if all this colour wasn’t enough, it is doubled by the reflections in the canals, of which more tomorrow.

Colours of Burano

One of the delights that should never be missed when visiting Venice is the little island of Burano.

Less than an hour’s Vaporetto ride across the lagoon, Burano is a tiny island where all the houses have been painted in vibrant shades. A photographer’s dream.

You aren’t going to win any originality contests with your photos – Burano is already copiously recorded in pixels – but still you can hardly resist snapping away like a photog possessed.
