This is a photo taken on one of my previous layouts about 10 years ago. Although the photo doesn't show it very well, the cinder block wall has a small mural painted on it. The cinder block wall has the purpose of keeping the dirt and water outside of the basement. Even with a fancy coat of paint on it, the wall does very little to enhance the scene. A little off the point here. Ground texture has been applied in this scene and for all pratical purposes, it looked good. What if it were still bare ply wood (or that nasty shit that alot of modelers swear by: Homasote). A computer and a graphics program will save a lot of headaches... See below.

Here is the exact same photo with some neat stuff added. Some of the blury stuff removed, and by the way, it is raining..
