A room with a Christmas tree where it looks like the tree is small!

Same Christmas tree now looks big!

We had a debate one year about how big of a tree we should get. A little advent silliness. #ArtAdventCalendar #EastCoastKin #Christmas #ChristmasTree #HolidaySeason #ForcedPerspective #SensationAndPerception #depthcues

Here is a wonderful use of Atmospheric Perspective to enhance the perception of depth and distance.

Looking out from the Blue Ridge Parkway across the well-known Blue Ridge Mountains. The green of the trees gradually shades to blues as the mountains fet more distant from the scattering of short wavelengths of visible light.

The Blue Ridge Mountains along the Parkway! #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin #Knowledge #SensoryArt As a vision scientist, I love the shading of green to blue helping is appreciate the depth. #AtmosphericPerspective #depthcues #VisualPerception

A view from the Blue Ridge Parkway across the mountains of North Carolina. The color of the trees becomes progressively more blue as they get farther away. This is due to the same scattering of light that makes the sky blue. It also gives the Parkway its name.

Along the Blue Ridge Parkway for #ForestFriday showing all the hues of the forest as it recedes into the distance. Taken several years ago. #EastCoastKin #scape #landscape #BlueRidgeParkway #AtmosphericPerspective #perspective #SensoryArt #NorthCarolina #SensationAndPerception #depthcues
