Il viaggiatore che approda all’isoletta di Burano, al largo della laguna di Venezia, ha di fatto l’impressione di trovarsi in un fumetto.
Il biglietto da visita dell’isola è questo bel campanile…non perfettamente diritto…
…e poi le case: tutte piccole e insistentemente colorate con tinte sgargianti, quasi i pescatori dovessero vederle dal largo o non sapessero trovare la via per tornare; i vicoli stretti e pittoreschi animati di turisti; gli accostamenti strambi di colore; le esagerazioni di colore; tutto fa pensare di essere capitati dentro un fumetto. Manca solo che sbuchi Popeye da qualche angolo.
Deve essere anche un po’ malinconico, pero’, trovarsi in una piccola isoletta, quando le luci del giorno si spengono e con esse il vocìo dei turisti.
Per omaggiare la bellezza unica e “comica” di Burano, una foto da cartoon:
Living in a Cartoon.
The traveler arrives in Burano, a small island off shore the Venetian lagoon and thinks to be living in a cartoon. While approaching by boat he will see the steeplechase of the local church…not very straight…and then he will be astonished by the vibrant colours of the place. Houses are brilliantly painted as if seamen needed to find the way home by seeing them. Colours are contrasting and dazzling; the narrow streets are crowded with colourful tourists as well and all in a frame of vivid blue sky. If we talk seriously, it must feel a bit melancholic to live in such a small place in the middle of the lagoon, when the tourist season is over. But that it is and the last photo is a perfect portrait of unique Burano.

Beautiful, colourful homes. I’m sure the locals do feel a bit sad after everyone leaves. On the other hand they probably enjoy the quiet after everyone leaves and they can look forward to tourist season in the new year. Thanks for sharing this lovely area. Have a wonderful weekend.
