While visiting the colorful city island of Burano near Venice, Italy, I noted this composition taken from Fondamenta S Mauro looking into an entrance to Calle Dei Squeri, or “street of the boatyard.  In Italian, “squeri” (plural of “squero”) refers to small boatyards, especially those where expert craftsmen build and repair wooden boats, particularly gondolas. My trip to Italy, France, and Spain was in October of 2022.  I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish curating the approximately 4,000 resulting images!

Burano, Italy is known for its colorful homes and buildings. But it can be equally intriguing in monochrome. This view is along the Fondamenta della Pescheria Canal.  The Church of Saint Martin Bishop tower is in the background. See more of my photos from my Burano and Murano gallery.
