This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Upside Down." Fun theme!
Pretty much everyone who goes to Venice with a camera ends up taking reflection-in-a-canal photos; it's just irresistible. Plus, you never know what you'll get since it all depends on the time of day, the position of the sun, etc.
I took these on a cold and cloudy winter day on Torcello, a beautiful island in the Venetian lagoon. I've flipped them upside down. The red brick in the upper right corner is the sidewalk I was standing on when I took the photos.
In this next one, you can see the bell tower of Santa Maria Assunta, Torcello's thousand-year-old cathedral, down in the bottom right corner. It's upside down because I flipped the photo! It's also covered with scaffolding for restoration work.
You can find more Photo Hunters and join the hunt here.
Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.

Now I'm confused which is the original object... it looked as if you purposely turned it upside down.. haha :P Nice one Annie. :)

Very good, Annie! Reflections are indeed upside down. It'll be fun to see what this week's participants will come up with.

Great photos!
I leave for Venice in a week and will be going to Torcello for the third time. Lucky me!
This is my ninth Italy trip, so my ninth trip to Venice. :)

I don't know when I have seen more stunning reflections. Flipping the photos upside down was a nice touch.

Nice reflections. The second one actually gives me a little vertigo since you can tell you are upside down. Have a great weekend.

This is a beautiful image and a clever way to interpret the theme. I love this Torcello teaser and hope to see a blog entry soon. ;)
Have a fun weekend!

Lovely photos!
Here's mine... kinda wordy today. I didn't want to go on a trapeze bar and I have no pics of mountains. :S

It took a while for the photo to appear and before the part below the rocks appeared, I was starting to get vertigo!
The from the rocks up looks like a beautiful silk-screen...

Great shot - apparently we, who are lacking an upside down reflection in the canal image, have to go back just to correct that error.
