We were in Frederick, Maryland, USA in 2003. There is a section where a bridge and walls are painted in the "trompe l'oeil" method. Otherwords: The walls are flat, flat, flat. All you see is illusion. Neat, huh? I had to rub the walls to be certain brick was not there. This beats out lots of software in realism and "fools the eye". Pascale, someone, please tell me exactly how you would translate "trompe l'oeil". Thanks. Tom.
