Perception of Landscape



From some LANDSCAPES blog, Andrew Ray (Plinius)

'Any landscape is a condition of the spirit.' - Henri-Frédéric Amiel

'Every landscape is, as it were, a state of the soul, and whoever penetrates into both is astonished to find how much likeness there is in each detail'.

It could also be said that "the Sublime is in the mind".

It's said, rather too often, that 'Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder' and 'De gustibus non est disputandum'.

Amiel's observation seems more thoughtful and precise.
