## Nature sets the scale

Towering landforms, luminous weather and a tiny focal subject make the viewer feel the scale of the surrounding landscape. This sense of awe is often described as the sublime.

The gorge study uses a small traveler to make the depth legible; the lake view uses a dwelling. Dramatic light supports the relationship between human scale and nature, rather than making every scene with dark shadows a Romantic landscape.

## Variation: Gorge and traveler

A tiny traveler on a rocky path establishes scale against towering cliffs, a deep gorge and luminous storm mist.

A deep vertical ravine and small traveler replace the lake and dwelling, making human scale and the sublime depth the focus while retaining luminous weather and towering landforms.
