The lady painting looks like she herself is in watercolors. It was a crisp mostly sunny day, but I didn’t do anything to it to make it look weird. But it kinda does look weird. Can’t put my finger on it

    It's probably because there is something out of frame that is reflecting light perpendicular to the sun. Look at the trim on both porch roofs to the far left and compare it to the porch farther right just below the spire; they should be the same shadow intensity but the left one is noticably brighter. Plus its rare to see such a bright roof with dark trim in real life which adds to the uncanniness.

    Yeah, this guy gets a fresh paint job every other year, it seems. I kinda like the colors, but definitely unusual. When Peter Norton bought it 1991 he meticulously had it restored- only to have it burn down shortly after. So, he built it again. Nice to have $$$$

    I've got some pictures of a city hall that looks almost fake because of how the building is coloured... Not exactly the same as this because that one looked like it had outlines but it's still a weird effect.
