Default Corsanico Home- Optical Illusion?

Is it me? Am I seeing things?

Just curious as to what you think. I see two different photos of the Corsanico home.

1. Go to destinations and then go to Corsanico. If you look at the first picture of the house, you see what I believe may be the front of the house. There is the front door with a brick arch. A palm tree to the right of the front door. A lantern like light over the front door. The stones to the left side of the house appear different than the right side of the house. If you look to the left, there is a window with a gate covering the window. The structure appears the same in the photo you see when you click above on the "overview" section.

2. No click on "using the club". It appears to be the same house. The photo shows a family (looks like grandparents) with a kid kicking a soccer ball. The home in the backround is the Corsanico house. The same palm tree in front of the front door with a brick arch and a lantern over the front door. But now look to the left. The window that was to the left of the front door now looks like it is a door, not a window. Can this be?

This appears to be a stupid point but it is driving me crazy. Is it me or is there something I am not seeing in the photo?

The illusion could be from the guest home....but it is an interesting observation.

i think i see what it is.

if you look at floorplan its door window door.

it seems like in the taller pic, you can see the start of a 2nd lower roof.

and in the shorter pic, the window seems to be behind the umbrella.

BTW :thumbsup: to what appear to be some positive changes to the website in terms of navigation.

Whoa...that is freaky. It would appear that a door was added where the window originally located (or vice versa). Maybe DHH did a little remodeling after they purchased the house.

My guess is that a door was added to replace the window.

...and what, exactly, is it you do for a living??? Something that deals with intense scrutiny?

...actually, the proportions of the child in relation to the adults freaks me out! Looks like the reverse of "honey I shrunk the kids"!
