Pink Palazzo
This might look like an ordinary reflection shot, taken in Venice. You've seen hundreds, many better than this, I'm sure. But I have put a little bit of extra work into this - see if you can figure out what I did.It's in Castello

the picture is upside down. :)
Very effective shot; even makes something pink really attractive!
Jason got it in one, didn't he? I think this pink palazzo is beautiful at any angle.
like this shot too! This extra work wasn´t that bad, yes? Just put it upside down?
Lovely :-)
No, there's just a little bit more than turning it upside down. When somebody gives the name of the palazzo I'll be able to give you another clue.
As well as appearing upside down it's reflected in the water
The image has been "flipped" as well, hasn't it, Bert?
That's it, Andante. Because the reflection shot when turned upside down (easily done by rotating clockwise or anticlockwise twice through 90º) would be reversed left to right, I had to flip it so that it looks like a wobbly picture of the palazzo as you would see it from below. That function may be in your photo editing software, but it wasn't readily apparent in mine. I had to Google it - no big deal, which is why I said "a little bit".
Now, come on! What's the name of the palazzo?
You've taken us into deep water with this one.
It's a beautiful photo, Bert. Is it Palazzo Priuli?
Annie, no.
Perhaps they use different carmines in the paint?
[That's a cryptic crossword-type clue.]
[I get the deep water reference, brattcat.]
Palazzo Seriman, now a school. I went in it last december! Big garden in the back, a playground for the children.
Good night!
AnnaLivia gets the gold medal. It's also spelled 'Sceriman', which is an anagram of 'carmines'. "Different carmines" - geddit?
A very good photo from the same viewpoint can be found here:

"Homework / Revision time" for you too, Bert, I think. We followed your link - and it's in Cannaregio - Cannaregio 4851 to be precise, so you had us all wandering ( mentally) round Castello for a day!But it's still an interesting pic.
You're right, Andante (of course). I often get words that begin with the same letters mixed up. I'm not sure if that happened in this case, or if I just had the notion that this palazzo was further east than it actually is. Mea culpa!

A day spent wandering round Castello is never a day wasted!
Fabulous! I love it! So dreamy!
Awesome photo!
For one thing, it's upside down... but what a wonderful, wonderful shot.
