Hidden in Plain View

These digital cameras are fantastic. I tried the max zoom on mine while photographing the view. When I brought it up on the computer I could see three houses that I can't see at all with the naked eye.  Also it has a lovely look to it - like a painting. Here is the view as I can see it from the cottage and two max zoom ones. Your reference point for comparing is the tree right in the centre of the full view. The houses are to the left of this tree.

Another interesting thing I noticed in the middle photo is that it shows Irish country houses from different eras. The small white cottage is like mine and probably dates from about the 1860's. The house in the centre of picture would be from about the 1960's and the one on the right is very new and quite typical of the kind of house being built at the present.

It would not be unusual if these three belong to the same family, as when people could build a better house, they often did so near to the "home place" and when things got even better they may have built the modern house nearby again.
