Lying Images (part3)

Once the airplane starts to take off, passengers would notice that structures on the land will look little and little and at the same time getting closer and closer with each other. TEXTURE GRADIENT is another pictorial cue and the one responsible for such perception. This cue is evident in this photo:




According to the TEXTURE GRADIENT CUE, at distance, objects that are equally spaced appear to be closely packed; which is evident from the view inside the airplane that's ascending to the air. These houses and even the SM shopping mall, looks too crowded and compact because the distance between the observer and these objects/structures becomes greater and greater as the airplane flies higher and higher.


Note: Thanks to my brother Marc Elison Capco for taking this photo! ^^,
