Inspired by this small assignment, I decided to see what if it would look like if I had a house on Mars. I used this image of the Martian surface taken by the Curiosity rover, and an image of a window pane found on google, and GIMP as the editing tool. I set the window image as a layer over the Mars photo. I also used the “float image” tool to adjust the Mars background to the part of the picture I felt was the prettiest. I then merged the two layers together, and cropped out everything outside the window pane selection. And I’m left with, what I think, is a beautiful view of a Martian backyard.

Note: It’s probably bets not to open your window like this.
