Hidden Lines of Perspective to Awe
Readers’ curiosity needs new paths to explore.
PHOTO by author: Sunrise on August 13, 2022 05:50 (AM). There are four paths of direction; light intensity of the horizon, colors in the lower clouds, clear blue sky, and dark scattered higher clouds.
Do you see the hidden lines of light perspective from the morning sun?
The brightness of the lower clouds reflects the strong warmth of the rising sun. As your eyes ascend into the main cloud group, you appreciate the mellow warmth of colors to the white light on the upper edges.
The background of the blue sky gives a view of hope to see more sun. Then the black scattered clouds are further west than the main cloud group of mellow warmth. There is no light in the dark scattered pattern.
I appreciate the flow with lines of perspective by visual, audio, and music in nature and community.
There are more connection benefits with our writing when the hidden vanishing points are noticed:
(1) guide the viewer in the image as described in our storytelling.
(2) are an ascending or descending perspective to the main object (steps or levels to the subject in your story),
(3) describe the journey of our story; the high road or the low road? OR BOTH
(4) show the travels of our story in the curvature of a beach or trail, the change of intensity in the clouds at sunrise, or a meandering road in the forest to the lake.
[Authors note: This flow in the lines of perspective can also be in video or audio. My experience of driving out of the serene forest on an unimproved dirt road was my moment of this audio line of perspective.]
The evening news was updating the end-of-day traffic congestion in Seattle and connecting freeways. The irony was the mental perception of end-of-day traffic while I was taking my drive slowly in the forest.
