The photo shows a palace on the water of Istanbul, Turkey. The palace is huge and the outside is a light yellow color. There is a white gate between the water and the palace that has several entrances. Presumably there is one entrance from the water in front of each of the main entrances to the palace. The palace is twice as tall in the middle as it is on the sides. The sides are each about two stories tall and twice as long as the palace. It takes up about the length of a city block. It has lots of columns and arches and windows facing the water. A tour boat can be seen in the picture.
