Burano Canal at Sunset | Italy

Burano is a small fishing island in the Venetian Lagoon, known for its brightly painted houses and canals. When we visited Venice for the second time, I really wanted to go to Burano. My wife loves colors, so as you can imagine, I really wanted to take her to Burano and explore the island with […]

St Mark’s Basilica at Sunrise | Venice, Italy

You know those mornings when the light feels like it’s performing just for you?That’s exactly how it felt standing in Piazza San Marco in Italy at 6:20 a.m., watching the first sunrays crown the domes of St Mark’s Basilica at sunrise.

Venice St Mark’s Square with St Mark’s Basilica and St Mark's Campanile – summer in Italy

St Mark’s Square | Venice, Italy

Piazza San Marco, internationally known as St Mark’s Square gained its own nickname “La Piazza” – THE Square, and I think it says a lot about Venice’s importance. There is a legend that Napoleon called it “the drawing room of Europe”. In our day, I would say the “photographing room of Europe”.

Island in the Venice Lagoon – Burano and San Martino Church with the Leaning Tower, Italy

Burano and San Martino with the Leaning Tower | Venice, Italy

The Burano, with its distinctive colours, was unlike anything I had ever seen before. I later learned that there was a purpose behind the colour-toned design. During the golden age of development of Burano, if a house owner wanted to paint his belongings, he had to apply to Burano’s government for a colour. The government would only allow a few options of colours of choice.
Venice gondolas standing still; summer in Italy

Gondolas | Venice, Italy

You mainly see gondolas in one place on this Earth – Venice. There is more history and meaning in them that you would probably expect. And there are only a few hundred of them – you can only be a gondolier if you receive a license from the Venice’s guild.

Sunset at Rialto Bridge | Venice, Italy

There is always a place like this for everyone in different parts of the world… I realised that the ‘place’ for Daria and I is Venice, particularly when I stood with my tripod trying to capture the sunset over Rialto Bridge.
