Buildings that aren't what they appear


In New Mexico, you see a lot of old buildings made of adobe. This is especially true in the state capital of Santa Fe. But many are not what they seem. In Santa Fe, many adobe buildings that appear to be old were, in fact, built in the last few years. Some have steel beams inside. Apartment buildings and shopping centers look like they are made of adobe. They are phonies: they are just painted adobe color. Even porta-buildings like the one in this photo are made to look like they are adobe. But anyone can figure out they are not.
