A Google Earth View Of Scenery, THIRD Attempt By Henry Gurr, To Match The Background Scenery Of Tom Zito’s 1974 Photo Of Robert Pirsig.
… Henry Gurr Used His 2002 Photo, Shown Previously, To Guide The Choice Of View, To Create This Google Earth View, Which Well Fits The Background Scenery Of Tom Zito’s 1974 Photo Of Robert Pirsig.
… And The Fit Is Near Perfect When Zito Camera Vs Google Earth Elevations “Points Or View” Are Properly Adjusted And Accounted For.
Gallatin National Forest, Ten Miles South Of Bozeman, MT. ….
… . The Tom Zito Article Click Here, said " About a week into our journey, he [Pirsig] warmed to the idea of being photographed in the mountains where he was working on his next book, and this is the result..
…This /\ Above /\ Google Earth View Photo, shows a large body of water with mountains in the background. And in this photo, the top edge of the mountains, somewhat fit the background scenery of Tom Zito’s 1974 Photo Of Robert Pirsig.
…Now… What is most wonderful, is the excellent fit of mountains, in Tom Zito’s 1974 shown on BOTH sides of Robert Pirsig. practically exactly, AFTER Camera Elevations “Points Or View” Are Properly Adjusted And Accounted For.
Also You Can See How Tom Zito’s 1974 Camera Location, Could Be Say 200 Feet From The Parking Lot, Seen In The Right Foreground.
…This is how land with plants and low bushes, could be seen in lower right side of Tom Zito’s 1974 Photo.
…Above it says that ”The Fit Is Very Good” Camera Elevation “Point Of View” Is Properly Adjusted And Accounted For”.. If you want to know more, please send email to HenryG__USCA.edu
My Problem Solving Story Two: “How, For Two Days, I Missed Seeing The Possibility That Using Google Earth View Might Make A View Having Near Perfect Fit, To Tom Zito’s 1974 Photo Of Robert Pirsig. By Henry Gurr ….
… The mountain tops in the background of Tom Zito’s 1974 Photo, on the left side have several characteristic humps and a very obvious sharp “V” cut. However this sharp “V” cut does NOT immediately show in Google Earth views, when looking from the Dam End Of The Hyalite Reservoir.
…But once I saw my photo #0903 and knew where to look, the sharp, is there, but because of Google Earth Elevation “Point Of View”, is much higher, a further distant mountain fills in the “V” cut, and thus not obvious until it is known where & how to look, to see the “V” cut, in front of the distant mountain.
Important ZMM Book Gumptionology Lessons =>
->A) In my first uses of Google Earth, passed right over the view that showed the correct background mountains, because in my first & second Google Earth attempts, right away looked for this obvious “V” cut, but did not look close enough to see it. good However, this “V” cut, was actually there, but not obvious until it is known where & exactly how to look, to see this “V” cut!! The fact that I missed it several times, is a clear case of failure of human perception.
->B) Although the other parts of the background mountains top edge were correct, I allowed the not seeing the “V” cut, to divert from looking and seeing these.
->C) And considerably more at fault, was my acceptance of a different, clearly in retrospect wrong mountain, to be in my first two Google Earth Views, that were then posted.
->D) These errors would never have been found, if I had never => Suddenly a memory automatically spontaneously mentally arrived => “Back in 2002, I photographed an 8 Photo Panorama Sequence, standing at the center of the Hyalite Reservoir Dam”.
Thus, A Gumptionology Lessons Summary =>
…We must all remember these human perceptual failures to see correctly. And remember that errors of diverted attention, can so easily happen, without our not ever noticing it.
…. Practically our only protection, is go slow, be careful, and pay attention that something might be wrong.
This Completes, And Is The End Of => Henry Gurr’s Series Of 5 Photos Of His Google Earth Attempt To Match The Background Scenery Of Tom Zito’s 1974 Photo Of Robert Pirsig.
