The second especially seems deserted! I think they try to protect themselves from the heat after lunch, do they nap I don't know. For instance, the street in Rome were quieter as siesta time for sure. The shot was taken mid-morning, very few tourists then, and we landed of the "wrong side of the island, where most of them don't venture until lunchtime :-) I love the colour palette as shown the local authorities choice :-) for centuries people have had to ask for permission before before painting their houses, and the colours are imposed, I just tried not too use the always tempting saturation ruler ;-) Amiti?s du matin Philippe Cheers, Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 19 August 2012 23:19, philippe.amard <philippe.amard at sfr.fr> wrote: Burano is a set of small islands off the main Venice archipelago and is famous for its lace, and for the colours of its houses. We were lucky getting there early, at least before the flow of other tourists was poured into the streets by the vaporettos and tour operators, and the locals were not hiding yet.
