I think the point of the OP is that, no matter how beautiful you think that picture is -- (after all, some things are "pretty as a picture") -- Heaven is going to be much more beautiful.
Imagination is always capable of making thinks more beautiful.

The comments on the photo state that it is the Grand Tetons, seen either from Wyoming or Idaho. I've been there and it really is that beautiful.
I've been there too.

There's no need to cheapen it with a faked
up bucolic scene.

Any such property is btw worth millions and
would have quite a different house.

Another view. Posted by a Facebook user known as Off Grid Living. Sent him a message asking if the photo is real. Of the 7.9k comments on the photo, I couldn't find one who thought it was fake (I did tire out from scrolling tho). Stand by for the verdict!

You made me look. I had to get a magnifying glass and follow the mane which looks like it's looking right. It is a pretty picture. It looks similar to the area I live in Cloudcroft NM.
I've been to Cloudcroft. The greenery does remind me of that area, but the height and jaggedness of the mountain peaks looks more like the Tetons I think.

How's this drawing of Hong Kong look to you?

Perhaps that's their choice, and they had their house built that way?

True but it's still beautiful.

Hey, at least it's consistent. It's headless in both photographs!

The Painter of Light! He had a gallery nearby in Kerrville. TX. Always put a scripture verse below his signature. Truly a God-given talent.

If heaven is going to be even more mawkish
than that, I don't want to go.

Exactly.

Here's a link to Off-Grid's Facebook profile. Lots of amazing photos, including interiors of the dwellings in these awesome scenes. You are right, can't judge these dwellings just from outside appearances. Kinda like people, ya know?



And hey! This one has a head! Wow.. AI is really good at horses

The man was a hack.

He should have his own Poe's law: If one applied AI to his work, you'd never know.

Ghost horse. No footprints.
And you don't use barb wire for horses.
