Burano, Venice, Italy
Burano is a photographer’s delight, a lagoon island filled with crayon box colored houses. Is it a tourist destination? Yes. Does every shop carry similar merchandise? Yes.
Yet, it was still an interesting place to visit.
We had booked tickets for a water taxi tour that made stops at Murano, Torcello and Burano. Of the three, Burano was the only island that felt inhabited. It’s known for its lace-making, so you can guess what most shops featured. Inside some shops were older women actually making lace, and I met a twenty-something salesgirl who showed me the lace earrings she was working on.
Between my interest in photography and my appreciation for needlework, I was in thrall at every turn.

Gorgeous photos! What’s the temperature? Everyone’s bundled up.
Love the colors of the houses!!!!
Thanks! It was in the mid-50’s which, coming from the East Coast Arctic Zone at the time, felt amazing! But, it was windy and nights would get chilly. Is it starting to thaw where you live?
