Perhaps something to do with the actual perspective used in the pic - may be an offshoot process with the train tracks, not really affecting the size but giving that impression? |

That's a possibility.. I am still in a learning curve after all! In good news I got permission to use .. Hacienda/ mission. as the "Mission" in my 3rd book series! If it looks familiar it's because it has been used in several movies.. ( and wouldn't that be cool if my books were made into a movie.. set.. already there.. lol) I didn't know that when I found the picture, I just liked the looks of it and decided that it would be perfect for my book. I could even to and visit it on a day trip ( be a long day..) as it's near Alpine,Texas. Yeah I know that's really putting the cart before the horse, but I actually have 3 separate outlines going for stories and a 4th that's just concept. Edited by Areial, May 14 2018, 10:29 AM.

<sigh> I need to.. I'll google and see if they have any inside pictures or video tours.. I really need details on the inside. I hate the idea that I would have to 'fudge' on details. I want my descriptions of the inside to match the footprint of the building. Things like furniture and stuff.. or an update to the kitchen, that's different.. but how many bedrooms, where is the owner's study, the dining room.. etc I know for some people it would make no difference, but to me it does. I will be giving credit for the hacienda to the Ranch and the man that took the picture.. people can then visit the place.. <sigh> All my places in the other books that are real.. are really where I say they are.. errr or were. Their is a chance some of them might not be there anymore. |

I seriously would move there in a hot minute. That's.... well.... you have unplumbed depths when it comes to graphics. Composition is EVERYTHING - and you have that down perfectly I think. It's.... like Lake Tahoe, but far enough north to see the Northern Lights.... Edited by Serethil, May 20 2018, 08:39 PM.

Not perfectly, but I am working hard at it!! I am not sure where it is, but that IS a real mountain range and from the snow on the sides, with the green on the fields, I would think somewhere pretty cold-ish.. Most of those tree's are Fir's, can't tell what kind, to blurry when you get close up. |

Well, I don't know - but we do have vistas like that around Utah. It's not.... any place I know personally. I'd think more in CA or the northwest. Hard to say, unless someone knew it.... |
