The wide angle perspective distortion is kinda interesting. > In England quite grand/big houses can be referred to by their owners as being a "country cottage" - certainly ones bigger than is shown here. Its a sort of deliberate modesty thing. If someone says - "I've got a little cottage in the country" - you can expect anything from a tiny hovel all the way up to a semi-mansion, depending on how rich they are ! You find out when you drive thru the cast-iron gates, (opened by someone), and there, up a half-mile of road, is this enormous pile. Dan.
