Everybody has his own horizon!

Landscape and Identity 2005

Look for a good place, doing this:

Mark your horizon in the landscape. You start with a point of your own view. In this point you should set a sign of your position. Give the point a flag.

Now decide yourself for a direction of view. Look in the landscape, giving you points to mark your horizon.

Decide for your first point, to mark your horizon in the landscape. Mark it in the height of your eyes from your flag point. Than return to the flag point. Mark another times your horizon in a other place. Do this several times. Work very precisely. You have often to return to the flag point, to find out, whether the high is correct and the imaginary horizon works.

The result must be a horizon line, the marks connected by an imaginary horizon, seen from the place of your flag point in the height of your eyes, standing.

When you can connect the marks by the line of your horizon, paint the marks with the color of your flag. Now you have marked your own horizon

Do it again, because you have a not ending number of points of view.

Visit the other points of the members. Sometimes you have to use something, to stand on, because the point of view was higher, than your height of your eyes. Sometimes you have to be a little smaller, because the person, who had marked their horizon, was smaller than you and also the height of their eyes.

You can see, everybody has is own horizon. And you, you have yours, it is always with you, as long you can see or imagine. Might be, you can get also an idea, when you have a standpoint, you also will have an horizon. You could have given the landscape a sign of your individual Identity.
