Click on photo for large size, and use BACK button to return to blog.The ihouse and New Mexico skies go well together don't they? And it is only a few blocks from me! I know it well, because I put it there myself, with Gimp. (Free software like Photoshop.)
I might do another post on how this is done, if anyone is interested. Since the ihouse is quite different looking, most people might want to try doing this before buying the house, using a photo of their property.
I used my photo of the model in Albuquerque and then Gimped it in a photo I took of nearby land, in 347 easy steps. Well, to do it roughly would be easy and take only 10 or 15 minutes, but the refinements I did on this one took much longer.
Curious as to what the ihouse would look like in all galvalume?
Here are the two photos I combined:
You can see I even took out the reflection in the core unit's sliding door of a neighboring house, and also took the stickers off the transom windows.
This photo is eight miles outside of Santa Fe city limits, on the plain. Most of Santa Fe is not this void of vegetation, but it is where I live. However, I have views of four mountain ranges from my property, and my house was the least expensive property I could find that was habitable, when I bought it five years ago.
For those of you who want to try it HERE are my instructions of how to do it in Gimp.
