Murano, Veneto, Italia

 My husband and I recently visited the sweet little Venetian island, Murano.

People in this part of the world love their window views!

 

 

 Like it's neighbor, Venezia, Murano has a Grand Canal, of sort.

There are cute homes, boats, laundry

 

 

...canals and bridges.

 

 

 very pretty bridges, all different.

 

 

 Murano is known for its glass making.

It seems they can make just about anything out of beautiful glass.

 

absolutely pure art!

 



 They don't seem to adorn their door with striped curtains like their closest neighbor, Burano.

 

 

We didn't spend a whole lot of time on this island because we had Burano on our mind and couldn't wait to get there.

But, this charming little Venetian place is well worth a visit!

Here, we were on our way to the vaporetto stop (ferry) just behind this gorgeous lighthouse.

Burano was just a twenty minute ride away.

The Colors of Burano, Veneto, Italy

 On September 28, 2013 we took a boat (Vaporetto) from Venice to Burano and fell in love with this very colorful island in the Venetian Lagoon.

The Venetians love their boats and there are a whole lot of them!

 

 

 The colors become visible as we make our way to the Vaporetto Stop on Burano.

 

 

 Like Venice, there are no cars on this tiny island...foot traffic and boats is the way to get around.

Most doors had a beautiful curtain.

 

 Amazing colors and laundry...

 

 

 Some houses were on the side of a canal and others were back away from the water.

 

 

 

 

 

 Loved the laundry!

 

 

 

 ...and the flowers!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Pretty umbrellas, too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Burano is known for its fine lace making.

I'll take one of each, please!

for fishing...

 

 

 Even the broom adds to the dramatic color scheme!

 

 

 Isn't this just the cutest window covering!

 

 

Burano is just a 40 minute boat ride (Vaporetto) from Venice and such a nice way to spend a half day during a Venetian vacation!

We LOVED Burano!

The Colors and Reflections of Burano, Veneto, Italy

 The colors and reflections of Burano were truly eye candy!

 

 

 I could have stayed a week just photographing every color combination I could find.

 

 

 It was a lovely fall day on September 28, 2013.

The boats...wild color too!
