From mid-April, the Lagoon is covered by pink and white tamarisk blossoms. And now in May, red and white poppies bloom in the salt marshes ("barene").
This one grows in Treporti, facing the northern Lagoon, the islands #Torcello and #Ariano in the distance🍃

Torcello - the mosaic of the Last Judgement by The Educated Traveller Torcello - the mosaic of the Last Judgement by The Educated Traveller

After decades of visiting Torcello I’ve finally got round to writing an article about The Last Judgement mosaic on the west wall of the basilica occupying the poetically named controfacciata - I’d be honoured if you took a look! #Mosaics #Byzantium #Torcello #mosaicmonday wp.me/p5eFNn-9yi

“I think it's my favorite island, especially in winter time when it is truly empty and the only sound that breaks the air is the rooster's crow, so insisting one wonders what is it that this bird trying to tell me.”

Quiet Reflections at Devil's Bridge, Torcello | Marco Secchi Photographer "Quiet Reflections at Devil's Bridge, Torcello" — In this peaceful scene, traditional boats rest under the storied arches of the Devil's Bridge in Torcello, Venice. Legend has it that this bridge, lacking parapets, was built by the devil in a single night as part of a pact with a local woman. In exchange for its construction, the devil asked for the soul of the first living being to cross it. Cleverly, the woman threw a piece of cheese across the bridge, tempting a cat to make the first crossing, thus saving human souls but sealing the cat's fate. The bridge stands as a historic reminder of Venice's rich tapestry of folklore and mystery, mirrored beautifully in the still waters beneath.

Wow, #Torcello. The basilica there is probably the closest you can get to stepping into 12th-century Constantinople.
