It has been a cold and wet July so far. So, I’m looking back to a trip I took a few years ago to Burano, about 45 minutes north of Venice by boat.
You probably recognize Burano and all its
Delightfully painted and colourful houses.
No two houses are the same colour.
It is said that the fishermen started painting their houses
So they could see them through the fog.
I’m glad they did!
I mean – look! Even the washing is a work of art!

OMG Fiona, the colors you capture are STUNNING! These pictures put a huge smile on face because of how bright and festive they look 🙂
I LOVE the laundry hanging out on the clothes line because it adds not only so much more color, but also a wonderful “look and feel” to that area.
One of these days when I finally visit Italy, I need to go Burano!
Thanks so much for sharing, my friend. And have a super week!

I see that the houses have been repainted with bright and cheerful colors. Maybe too strong. When I was there, their colors were more ‘natural’. They had the patina of time that, in my opinion, gave the people a more authentic beauty.
A hug Fi
