20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Burano Laundry Day

To avoid the crowds and tourists in Burano, Italy, My wife and I decide to head down an alley that opened up to this beautiful area where the locals live. Seeing the gondolier laundry hanging out to dry gave us a small glimpse into Italian life. An Italian man told me the post office doesn't really use a house number to deliver the mail. They go by the color of the house instead.
