Venice's lagoon is home to many islands, Burano being perhaps the most colourful of them all.
The island is inhabited by a community of fishermen, who go out in the early hours of the day. Because of its location in the lagoon, the island is regularly blanketed in fog at sunrise. To be able to find their home again, everyone has painted their house a different colour.
In this image, you can see one of these houses, whose façade really stands out with its bright yellow colour. The window shutters are light blue and the accents above the door and drainpipe are red. The door has a beautiful painting of a female figure.
At the bottom of the door is a wooden barricade to protect the house from the high water.
All in all, a beautiful colourful picture of the fishing island of Burano, which will brighten up many rooms in the house!!!
