“Landscape” view/much closer view (#4A in series: boat’s size, in Alaska)

 

 

In some places and circumstances a human’s eyes and brain find it nigh-impossible to gauge just how close – or how far away – is whatever you are looking at, intensely.

The absolute (and relative) sizes of things – things-natural and things-manufactured by humans – can likewise remain an almost total mystery, until one is actually in or on the man-made thing, and/or within not very many metres of a landscape feature’s “face”.

One such place and circumstance: Alaska’s Glacier Bay, when “exploring” it by boat.

You are looking at the relevant boat and a glacier’s snout.

I took the photo on 28 May 2015.

In this chapter’s “B” post the very same boat occupies a very much larger portion of the featured image.
