In the afternoon we took a boat from Venice out to the island of Burano, famous for its colourful buildings and lacework.

Photos are like a box of Forrest Gump's chocolates; you never know what you're going to get. In this case I was really just shooting the bridge and some of the colourful trademark Burano buildings beyond. It was only afterwards when I zoomed in that I noticed:
(a) That the couple on the bridge were wearing masks; and
(b) The woman on the bridge looking back and smiling at me.

The masks? I can't be certain but the sheet that you can see on the far side of the bridge celebrates the wedding of Elena and Omar. (Specifically "Evviva gli sposi"; "Long Live The Bride and Groom".) And I'll betcha that those two had a connection to that.

Why the woman is smiling at me? Noooo idea.
