Torcello, what a change of pace from Venice and Burano. Though there are 2 -3 restaurants and I think one small hotel, it is so nice and quiet.

Probably my favorite door in all of Venice...I'd love to meet the people who live in this house!

Since Castello is not filled with tourists, I had a wonderful quiet walk. Most of the times, it was just me and locals.

Like other areas in Venice, Castello is filled with pleasant surprises at every turn.

From Castello, San Marco on the right and Giorgio Maggiore on the left...see the plane right above the campanile of San Giorgio..or at least the optical illusion makes it seem that way.

And this is for the Donna Leon fans. This is the door of the Questura which Guido works at. Being a huge fan, when I saw the police station marked on a tour map, I had to go see it and then capture my reflection in the door. Not the greatest picture from a 'beauty' standpoint, but a fun memory for me.
