Galway Bay Hotel - Creative Photoshop

Arciphel

Saw this in a brochure this morning, thought it was very funny - although I am sure if you weren't familiar with Galway, and arrived to find that the golden sands you though you were going to be able to walk on were just a bit of badly photoshoped stock photography, you probably wouldn#t be laughing so much

the pic on the right seems photoshopped too, though - there's too much regularity in the water.

some differing shots after a quick GIS:

I know where the hotel is alrigh and that is some deliciously awful photoshopery. Just had a look at their website. It makes me sick... no seriously i actually felt a little motion sick looking at it.

The beach must be made of the sand from the island from "Lost" because it seems to have the ability to bend shadows!

I've seen it before and thought the same- it appears that there's no busy road in front of it.....

that just makes me laugh, it makes it look like some sort of paradise, but salthill certainly isn't!
yea, that busy road, that is constantly clogged with traffic is missing, but who'd wanna stay there if they saw the reality of it.
Must report that to a friend of mine, he's works there!!
