Monadnock / Marlboro Trail - Perspective Tricks This view of two ponds and the valley below plays a trick of perspective. The closer area of water is actually a separate pond about fifteen feet above the slight farther area. And that area blends most misleadingly into the landscape beyond, defying scale and distance. Of course, the stereo vision of humans is not so easily fooled as the camera, and the hiker does not quite get this pleasant and artistic illusion that brings the distant lake (Dublin Pond) right up against the mountain - or perhaps this tiny landscape is much huger, and we are actually in an airplane flying through vast grey mountains.

Monadnock / Marlboro Trail - Tiny Mountains The sunlight is at a perfect angle to show the texture of these complex rocks. Like many rocks, when seen without a definable scale, they could just as well be mountains as the ten foot high ridges they actually are. The bands and cracks show the composition of this metamorphic stone from the heating of rock that had been laid down in the bottoms of lakes or seas millions of years ago. A complex mix of melting, folding and fractures modify the texture of repeated deposits whose cycles may be hundreds or thousands of years long. See also… 10/11/2004 |
