You only go to Burano for one thing. Colour. Vibrant, in your face, over the top, drop dead gorgeous colour.
It is, I imagine, hard to take something new. I claim no prizes. Here we go on the colour burst.
We did try to capture other things so here are the left-overs after the colour frenzy. Everyone together now – SNAP!
You can’t go to Murano without seeing the glass blowing.
And I can’t go a day without black & white.
I have so many images I have to go through them again. Sorry, no gondolas again….. What? No gondolas in Venice? Well I saw a clue yesterday that there may be one left somewhere.

Intrigued by your beautiful photographs, I checked out Burano on Google since I’d not heard of it before. What a wonderfully, colourful place. The weather looks good too 🙂
It’s hot Lottie, but comfy hot. Mid 20s. Burano is great but the danger is you keep taking the same photo with just minor variations.
Makes me pine for Mexico – similarly colourful. Stunning imagoes Andrew. That reflection image would make a wonderful header for a blog I know about about…
Wonderful colors
Wow and wow. Lovely vibrant colors for sure. Love all of the pics. Especially like the arched alley way. Very nice shot. And I like seeing the blown glass furnace. Interesting for sure.
In your face colours, indeed. Great photos, love them.

Andrew, you could publish a book titled COLOUR ~ BURANO AND MURANO, and I would be your first buyer. These brilliant, vivid photographs are energizing and inspiring. The top photo alone was enthralling.
In a village in Mexico there was an entire little line of one-room homes. Each seemed to have an invisible line drawn where one ended and the next began, and it was as if each person tried to paint his/hers a brighter color. The effect was staggering, with a single big pot of bright flowers placed on the “line” between each color.
I have never seen colour like today, Marylin. A photographer’s dream.
Love love love the colors!
Impossibile non rimanere incantati dai colori di Burano e dalla lavorazione del vetro di Murano.
Bellissima serie di scatti Andrew.
Ciao, Pat
Absolutely some great color there, Andrew. My boss drives a Murano.
My boss drives me crazy.
And a very short trip it is, I am sure. 🙂
Wow! In your face colours, indeed. Love it! Stunning images.
Thanks Caroline 🙂
I LOVE your sudden burst, Mr H ! – so unlike you, these vibrant and almost shrieking colours ! 🙂
I am a naturally grey man M. R. Colour scares me 😱
Yes, and yet ,here we are in sunny Australia and yet so dismally grey. Thank you Andrew for all those colours.
You are truly most welcome.
I wish you could stay a lot longer in Venice, Andrew. It’s truly a photographer’s dreamworld.
It is indeed Yvonne. No time for the galleries yet.
It is Yvonne but still tricky finding something new.
You are in Burano, I am in awe.
It’s a bit like Thirsk, I believe.
The colour is blissful here, though what I love about Venice is the endless variations on grey and soft green. On the whole I find Venice very quiet on the eye. Re Gondolas. I have been to Venice many times, I cannot remember ever taking a Gondola trip… perhaps once with my mother when I was 14? I’m not even sure of that. But my personal favourite photo is of a very fed up Gondolier in a rain cape.
No sign of rain, Hilary but perhaps I can borrow a hose to recreate the effect. I’m finding the tourists rather wearing. I of course am not a tourist but an itinerant photographer.
Glorious color! Very therapeutic for someone living here in Chicago (aka: Land of Beige), entering autumn. Delicious. And fun to see what you did with it, like the upside down reflections. And I especially like the one looking through the relatively cool tunnel, to the sun-splashed colors beyond.
I don’t know Chicago but my godson is working there for Aldi. He seems to like it. I only remember when the Bears were the best football team around. Did they play in beige?
Haha! Nope~ blue and orange. They were indeed quite something there for awhile. I even got to meet a couple of the players. Fun to have a brush with the famous.
