"You remember that large painting, the one they used to patch the damaged house next door to his, after the gales and floods? I found a corner of it torn off, lying in a field. It was damaged, but legible: a mountain-peak and a spray of leaves. I can't get it out of my mind."--From "Leaf By Niggle" by J.R.R. Tolkein

Horizon Lines
10 days until my sister's wedding, affectionately dubbed "STRONGER 2012". (Her maiden name is Gering, her new last name will be Strong)
the thing about horizon lines is that you never get to them. They are a landscape constant, unless they are blocked by something else. In picture composition, horizon lines are shown or implied by diminishing lines and a vanishing point.
Real ones don't vanish; they just lead you on.
