Murano & Burano, the boat trip

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment

on the day before my very last day, me and a guy from Australia (who I met at the hotel) who also is a photographer but only knew how to take portrait pictures so I taught him how to take details, macro and landscape photos.

My goal on this whole Italy trip was to go to Burano and together we decided to go there (with other people ofcourse)

Here are some photos from the trip to the islands Murano and Burano.

as you might have noticed by now, I have a thing for decorations and windows. I was insane on taking pictures of people’s windows and how they had decorated them. Trust me, more will come.

Capturing the history and the beauty of something unique

Hello my loves! I have so many photos from Italy I want to show you all but unfortunately the blog would only be full of them with no text or so but some are some “work of art” in my opinion.

Note that I edit these on my phone (and I blog on my phone) so I have honestly no idea how they look on computers.

Our way back from Burano we went to this area. Unfortunately I dont remember what this location was called but maybe some of you know.

this was the area I had to “run” through really fast. The stress i had when I only had 5% in battery here but wanted to try capture some photos. I have more to show but I just share these for now 🥰

Let me know if I share to many photos in one post or if you want me to continue. 

Exploring Venezia/Venice on my first day.

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆2 Comments

same day as I arrived to Venice, I went out to explore. Just to look around. It was a new place for me and I wanted to explore and challenge myself on photography. Unfortunately 99.9% of my photos I have taken in Italy has been taken with my phone.

As yiu could read in my first post when I came to Italy, I wasn’t allowed to check in until a couple hours later. So I decided to leave my luggage at the hotel in their storage and go out to explore.

i think honestly dislike about blogging on WordPress is how bad the quality of the pictures become in the blog. It makes me so so sad. The pictures are more vibrant and sharp outside the blog. But I hope you guys enjoy the pictures anyway.

These are just a few (32) of the pictures I took this day (19th July 2025). I took a bit more but really didnt like them. I will make a post later with my favorite pictures I have taken on this trip.

My feets hurts and 2K+ photos later

Hey guys! I’m sorry I have been low on updating the blog for the past days. I have been on my feets pretty much the entire time to see everything and take pictures!

Saturday when I arrived, I wasn’t able to check in until 2pm and I was here at 9am ish. So I got to store my bags etc in their closet and off I went to explore.

At first I was super excited to go to the city of Vemice (Venezia). I was so happy and ready to see all the romance people has talked about, the gondolas etc.

these pictures I took on my way to the hotel. Below you can see the pictures I took from Venezia.

I will post more photos so stay tuned.

Gävle, one beautiful town

a small little piece of a Swedish town called “Gävle”. The beauty of this town is remarkable! Wow.

few photos I’ve taken there

Most unique and spectacular architecture i have ever seen.

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment

it was a magical building.  My husband and I went to the city the other day. After our meeting we had some time to kill so we went to a library / museum. It was one of the most spectacular architecture i have ever seen.

Library on one side and museum on the other side. Unfortunately I didn’t walk around in the museum because I think it would be boring to look around by myself. M didn’t want to go check. Maybe an other time.

The city is called Sundsvall which is located 2h from where we live. It’s an unique town to be honest. I took more photos and I will share them later 🥰

Senior home surrounded with gold

Golden hour with a view over the old senoir/retirement home. Such a shame to let the building go to waste.

Golden hour of the church

“Even angels admires the beauty of the nature” – Emma (me)

So the other day I took a little walk around my town and just soaked up all the beauty the nature shows but also the sun.

This is a church from my town and I love the “golden hour” moment.

Blue doors to heaven

throwback when I was in Norway pt. 3

I took a lot of photos of people’s doors (I have removed the name tags on the doors). So unique. Nothing like in Sweden. We have simple and basic doors but here  oh man!

(it’s a different picture than the one before. lol!)

Unique style in Norway

throwback when I was in Norway pt 2.

One thing I loved being in Norway was to find hidden gems. Small walking roads between houses. See all the different colors and shapes on the doors.
