Burano is an island in the lagoon of Venice. Actually, Burano consists of four islands, which are close together and connected by eight bridges. Typical are the fishermen's houses painted in strong colours. Colourful as canaries they line along the canals. According to the narrative, the colours of the houses helped the fishermen when they were looking for their home in the mist or after a boozy night (also a misty state...).
Nowadays, this intense colouration attracts painters and photographers.
is this the same as the misty canal from the other day? the colours are lovely but i love your treatment of the photo, made this softer and more appealing to the eyes, although i'm guessing with our without processing, it is still as attractive. aces!
@summerfield Thank you for your nice visit!
The last two photos were taken on the main island of Venice. From there you can take a vaporetto to the surrounding islands, also to Burano.
As @mona65 says -- stretches away to nothing. I see outboard motors -- I have never been to Venice, and had visions that everyone poled everywhere -- clearly not so.

The means of transport in Venice:
On land: on foot, no cars!
In the water: motor boats - private or public (vaporetti), gondolas
The most practical way to stroll and explore the many beauties of Venice are the feet. From October there is the possibility of floods (but can also happen in summer) - then you need rubber boots.
Gondolas (what you mean by "pole") are certainly the most romantic, but also the most expensive means of transport in Venice. During the prime of Venice, more than 10,000 gondolas were used. Today there are only about 400 to 500 gondolas, which serve as pleasure boats. They are used only for the carriage of tourists. There are also "romantic rides" at dawn and night - with candle or lantern lighting and for an extra charge.
If you want to visit the many islands around Venice, the vaporetto (water bus) is the best means. Vaporetti also operate within the city, such as the lines 1 and 2 along the Grand Canal. You can then easily watch the palaces pass by and admire them.
