• My First Motorboat

    Trying to fit a 4HP out board engine on a piece of Styrofoam. They get extra points for trying 🙂

  • Water born dog

    Not all dogs start life as puppies. Some emerge fully grown out of big buckets of water.

  • GondolaSpecs

    Gondoliere wearing SeaSpecs kayaking sunglasses. What will be next? Red and white striped Kokatat Knapsters?

  • Scaffolding

    This is how they put up scaffolding in Venice.

  • I ♥ Venice

    Hearts can appear anywhere, anytime.

  • Camouflage, Burano style

    On Burano orange, lime, lilac and pink are viable camouflage colours. Burano is known for its brightly coloured houses, and its a fun pass time to search for houses matching people’s clothes. You don’t need to stand out just because you’re wearing pink.

It takes place on the third Sunday of July, and on the evening before there is a huge display of fireworks just before midnight. It usually last around 45 minutes. I went there with a bunch…

  • Laundry line

    Puppets of Damocles?

  • Training in the lagoon

    This guy just went up and down a short stretch of lagoon canal behind the Vignole, training in a little corner sheltered from the winds of the day.
