In Front of...

In Front of... by Perceval in Belgium.
Vanishing points were first used by Renaissance artists such as Donatello and Masaccio.

To enjoy this photo: look at far as your eyes can see...

Vanishing points can also refer to the point in the distance where the two verges of a road appear to converge. This is often used to help assess the upcoming curves in the road; to judge the radius and therefore the entry speed and optimum line. If the vanishing point moves towards you or to your sides, the curve is tightening. If the vanishing point moves away from you or comes to center, the curve is straightening.

That ancient philo question: If a tree fell in a forrest and no on was around to hear it fall, did it make a sound?

Trees symbolize life and the soul. Some change with the seasons and others stand up to harsh conditions. Trees beautify our planet and provide balance and food for both humans. Birds nest in trees and other animals hide within their branches for safety.

Dreaming of budding trees in the spring may herald a new cycle or rebirth, Cycle of life including death can be observed through the forest evolution. Native forest or artificial one shows us a representation of our own life following cycle. In French we have a word “dénaturer” which mean less natural (may be denatured in English).

Seasons have an impact on forest as american native Suquamish chief, Seatle, observed it few years ago: Summer indicates the development of self-reliance and strength to surviving rough conditions in your life. The changing and falling leaves of autumn symbolize shedding what is no longer needed so that changes can occur. Harvesting the work of the past is also represented. The bare trees of winter can symbolize a time of dormancy, to sort things out and rest before beginning something new.

When I'm looking at a forest, I saw my entire life scrolling in cinemascope...

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is listening, does it make a sound?
If a shutter clicks on a camera, and it records an image that no one ever sees, is it real?
I wrote the second question. Basically, I had many friends who would take photographs and never show them to anyone. I have since convinced them to join flickr. Some with zest, and others just in passing.

Your words are well written! You sound like a native English speaker. My envy and congratulations I freely give to folks who can do that. I struggle with my second language.
