Photo a day....20th May

On our first trip to Venice we made a tour of the islands in the lagoon and were particularly taken with Burano. The houses are very small and brightly painted. The people make their living from fishing.

One of the notable things about Venice and its islands is the number of churches with leaning spires. In fact I seem to remember the only upright one was the one that was rebuilt in the last century after it collapsed (killing only a cat!)

I photographed a number of these and will show a selection of them from time to time when I haven't been out to snap anything local, like today (bad head, and visitors!)
