What a House!

When my wife and I visited Brazil, we were invited to stay at the house that a cousin's husband grew up in. I couldn't believe it when I saw this place; it is just beautiful - wood inlays, interesting architecture (it is supposed to resemble a hang glider), large glass windows. And the hospitality of the family was amazing. They welcomed us into their family. But as for this picture, I was having trouble capturing the beauty of the place. The overhanging roof and patio caused shadows that showed up black in the pictures. The sky was too bright. So I used HDR to make the sky more dramatic and also include detail for the shadow areas.
