Painted/ Photo Hunter

Trompe de loiel - Jackson's Point, Ontario

This week's Photo Hunter challenge: painted

Someone must have thought the side of this building looked boring as a plain white wall so they painted on a window.

Trompe de L’oiel ("Trick of The Eye”) are paintings that create illusions. I hope you were fooled for at least a second or two.

Fooled me for a minute...I thought they were windows. Great eye and great shot!

Fun! What a novel idea. Better than plantings to disguise that side of the building.

That is fabulous -- I was definitely fooled. I could have seen it easier IF the shape above it at the roofline hadn't been made that way. Looks perfectly natural to me!

What fun! Someone sure has a sense of humor.

Haha! That got me, I was busy looking at the painted trims, didn't realize the whole darn thing was painted. Good one.

Jan said...

What a clever idea and if you have not mentioned it i will really think that's a real window. :)

Happy week-end!

I like it. I have a bare wall on the side of my house, maybe I should try this.

YTSL said...

I wasn't fooled but have to say that the house looks like it's got eyes! ;b
