Picturesque Burano is known for its brightly coloured fishermen’s houses.

The typical Burano’s house is mainly squared-shaped and are divided into two or three floors. At the low ground there is the kitchen, the breakfast nook and the toilet. On the upper floors are the bedrooms.

The different colours of the houses, which today represent the island’s main feature. Families used to paint their homes in bright colours to designate where their family’s quarters ended and a neighbour’s began. An ancient legend also narrates that fishermen painted their houses to make their homes more visible from the sea. The tradition has stuck.

Burano 360

NIKON D750 + 28.0-300.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 28 mm, 1/200 sec at f/5.6, ISO 100 x 16 Frames

The 360° panorama above is comprised of sixteen (16) overlapping vertical frames (and if you look carefully you can see my girls in there – a closer up single frame is further down below :)).

A little magic at the blog end and you can view the end result as an interactive 360˚ photo. Using your mouse or keyboard (arrow keys) you can control your view and pan around the scene (and even zoom in and out).
Clicking the square box icon towards the top left corner also allows you to run it full screen.

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
