Venice - Sidetrip to Burano


Venice seems more astounding and beautiful than ever...even the tourists and the trinkets they buy are a welcome part of the scene. A favorite sidetrip is to the island of Burano - about a 30 minute "ferry" ride.


NEEDING LOVING CARE?




NOT ZIPPED UP COLORS - THESE ARE AUTHENTIC






KNOWN FOR THEIR LACEMAKING - FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE REPAIRING FISHING NETS - BUT TODAY IT IS MOSTLY FROM CHINA






WALL DECOR




MURANO CHANDELIERS IN CHURCHES...OF COURSE




IT IS NOT DISTORTED - THIS IS THE DEGREE OF LEAN !!

  1. I remember Barano, Murano, and the 3rd island that Brett and I visited a long time ago. The colors were great. Isn't one of the island known for blown glass? Wow, I can't wait to visit Venice again and go on an eating spree...though Brett is not much of a fish person...he does do shrimp though...
