Burano Island waterway village, Italy

An exciting thing about Burano, not to mention the peaceful warmth , happy colors and quiet shopping, is the shapes and colors that greet you every time you glance at the watery streets. The reflections on a sunny day amount to a dazzling and very dynamic show of abstracts, each a fleeting work of art changing every second before your eyes as the small waves pick up new reflective patterns, none to ever be repeated again. Included here are a few samples of the unique artistry to be seen when brilliant colors, water and waves mix at this wonderful destination.
