I first visited Murano/Burano in 2000. The 2000 photos represent my initial love affair with the place from back then. When I returned in late 2006, I discovered the whole town (Burano) had been repainted, and frankly, to no great effect, as far as I'm concerned. In preparing these galleries, I realized I much preferred the older, somewhat paler palette Though there were also some grand bright colors in 2000, too, they seemed to scratch my complementary color itch much more satisfyingly than do the garish brights of this last year's visit. I'll be interested to hear your reactions to the different palettes then and now.
