Water gate of the Palazzo Barbaro
Like a circle in a spiralLike a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
The Windmills of Your Mind - English lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman
The Palazzo Barbaro is where some scenes of Brideshead Revisited (the TV series) and The Wings of the Dove were filmed. But the water gate did not feature strongly in either of them, so I thought you might like to see a close-up of the ironwork tracery. How did I get inside, you will want to know. Well, I rang the doorbell, and some kind soul buzzed me in. Simple as that!

beautiful work it is I'm glad they let you in.
Sometimes all you need to do is ask! Love the floral pattern of the scrolls.
You have chutzpah, Bert. And it paid off here! I've admired a watercolor of this gate by Ros Ridley, and it's nice to see it from the other side.
Fantastic!! I have always loved the metal and iron works in Italy and Spain. Great photo
Nicely done. They probably thought you were a delivery guy. (Do they deliver pizzas in Venice?)
Wow, very stylish and well done! :) Thank you for the picture, this is as close to art as possible!
