"Forcing" The Issue

[eightyeightfan1]

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
Since this is still all in the planning stages right now. But I like your suggestion Pete about plopping it right down.
Also, I'm tossing the red house(Pic2). My thinking is that this will draw the viewer into the scene(Red has been shown be be an eye catcher..i.e: Stop signs, red lights, beautiful women wearing red dresses), and the true "distance' might be revealed.
