Frank’s theme of ‘Alley’ for this week was, you might say, right up my street. I particularly enjoy photographing old -= sometimes very old – urban architecture, so I have plenty of alleyways in my collection.
Very often, of course, it’s impossible to see right to the end of a medieval alley or passageway, which adds a sense of mystery to the image. On the other hand, though, they are also typically quite dark and gloomy.
However, I think I’ve found a compromise here. The island of Burano in the Venetian Lagoon is especially noted for the bright colours with which most of the houses are painted – even those down a mysterious dark alley like this one:

I love the colours of Burano
Narrow and colorful!
That is a truly wonderful alley, steeped in color! Love it!

Lovely colours of course. I’m really impressed by those flagstones: well fitted and flat. Those are more recent than medieval.
Great photo – so crisp – and love the colours š
