Three Dimensions - The image is actually flat, but my mind helps me out by giving me the impression that it is three-dimensional.
I vaguely see the sagebrush in the foreground, then the animals. My mind's eye looks to the dark green trees and stops for a moment.
How far to the cloud-shrouded mountain? It seems a ways away. What is behind the trees is unknown, but I know the mountain rises up from the plain very quickly. It is cold up there - clear and crisp. And the clouds are low and wispy.
If you have actually seen the Tetons from this vantage point, as I did last spring, this image carries memory with it. Sensory memory, temperature, piney scent, the feel of the sandy ground under my feet, and a slight breeze in my hair.
What a blessing, this thing called dimension. And I get three of them!
Myth is the public dream, and dream is the private myth. - Joseph Campbell
