Spot the difference...


{photo taken by moi in Apt, Provence}


The french call it Trompe-l'œil which translates to deceive the eye.
I think that this is a great example of this kind of art work.


The volets/shutters that you see to the right of the photo are real and the man on the balcony and the tree are not.

I adore it and think that it transforms a blank wall into something special. What do you think? Do you agree....dites-moi!


A tres bientot, Leeann x

  7. Dearest Leeann,

    Oh yes, you are right in this one! One might get bored of the same scene after a long while but it does lift up one's spirits for happy thoughts. A window with blue skies looking inward is quite funny!

    Love to you,

    Mariette
