Capture of the Landscape
A landscape stays still so that the artist can capture it.
A drawing reduces the landscape to its simplest fit.
Photographers are not forced to catch human motion.
Painters capture multiple dimensions - landscape and emotion.
Sculptors carve out the ups and downs of valleys, hills and fiords.
Writers describe landscapes with evocative mental image words.
Memory plays tricks with capturing images of landscapes.
Childhood places may be distorted as clarity escapes.
The brain locates its storage for memory of place,
Separate from where we go for memory of face.
But we remember the most beautiful places we have ever seen,
Truly as gorgeous vistas with a look that is peaceful and serene.
My topical post today at South by Southwest is about our small world.
