Sometimes, when looking at a photograph it is difficult to judge the scale of elements within; the angle from which a photograph is taken alters dramatically the perceived scale which we view the image in our mind. I guess you may be struggling a little with this one taken with the camera nearly at ground level. Cast your eye to the V in the major rocks on the right of the picture and you will see a tree, perhaps that will now alter your perception of the scale? The two largest peaks were probably only five metres or so higher than the level of the camera, although considerably higher than the landscape surrounding this location.
Where? Oh yes, taken on a very warm day a few years ago at Hanging Rock in Australia.

Did you know that butterfly wings are covered with microscopic scales? I used fish leather with a visible scale pattern to cover the spine. Conceptual. No?

Shinsei trucks in various claimed scales from 1:128 up to 1:53 – see notes on the photo for more information.
THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH FLICKR ... The individual photos of the flat bed transporter were not appearing in any search of its tags, but it was 'public'. Changing to 'private' and then back to 'public' seems to have restored its searchability!
This a link to the photos of it anyway: www.flickr.com/photos/adrianz-toyz/48122328323
Since this was taken I have a couple more, a Freightliner car transporter set, and the Kenworth as a box van plus a couple of tankers. Search 'Shinsei' on my photostream to see pics of all these individually.

Bernard Berenson had some strong opinions about studying art from photographs. Photography gives us a false sense of scale and in color photography a idea of the original skewered by the photographer or printer. When looking at photos we fill in the blanks.

Slake Justice stands in to the lower right to give a little idea of the scale of how large this feature was.
