The only difference I see is that one picture is black and white and the other is in color.
Because I grew up in a black and white world, I can tell that the flat area around their little castle is water all the way to the sea wall just below the hill rising in the background.
The color picture just enhances the water, also what time of day were the two pictures taken, black and white at low tide, color at high tide?
An easier way to do it is just count the runs of stone below the window, they are the SAME, so I have to call bullshit on these pictures telling me the water level is higher!
A little bit of attention to detail puts the lie to their claim.
Bro...it's sarcasm! The water level is the same.
