Last weekend, I looked at your Ocean pictures. I could not decide which one I loved better, Winter Surf, San Gregorio, or Sand, Surf and Birds.

I grew up at the North Sea.

The eerie perspective of the Chirico picture makes me feel a little as if I am crushed between the two solid buildings. It does not evoke a sense of vertigo. Thus, unusual perspectives can evoke different feelings. Angela’s painting also evokes a sense of vertigo in me (the street is gliding away).

Painters can use strong perspective, though, for example de Chirico: <img src="http://www.puellula.com/arts/Art/DeChirico-001.jpg"/> Not only is the perspective unusually strong here, but the two building facades don't have the same vanishing point, which adds to the eeriness. This painting reminds me of one of Angela's <a href="http://www.artandperception.com/2006/12/new-style-an-experiment-or-just-a-passageway.html" rel="nofollow">we discussed</a> before.

Four kilometer of rope was arranged in the vicinity of the route (of the brothers) up the wall of the mountain so that four camera people - also excellent climbers - could do the work.

Vier Kilometer Kletterseil wurden neben der eigentlichen Route in der Wand verlegt, um den vier Kameraleuten – auch sie herausragende Kletterer – die Arbeit zu ermöglichen.

I like the muscles and see intensity in the upper brother. Makes me wonder where the photographer was as I see no shadows...talk about intense!

I am still getting dizzy when shifting my eyes to his lower brother. Thanks for explaining my discomfort. So far, I have mostly focused on the upper Huber brother.
