Perspectives

Usually I take the monorail to go from the place where I live, near "Yamada" station, to "Shibahara" a station 5 minutes away from the main gate.
Using The Monorail I see everything everyday from a birds perspective. After some time you get used to that! houses are small, big fields undefinable.. And the Skyline of Osaka your everyday companion against the not so interesting passengers..Suits and top notch dressing..

So today I had a radical change of perspective when taking the "shuttle bus" a bus relating The Toyonaka Campus to the Suita Campus. The bus takes the same route but instead of seeing the area from above you are in it actually.
You see BIG houses, apartments, people, streets, cars, life around you and the tiny objects become suddenly so big!



Your perspective changes radically!
Feelings of security of control and of distance are lost! it's the same place but you have a totally different relationship to it!



I thought WOW we use Airplanes for travelling through the world! It's exactly the same as with the monorail we see the same regions but with an unconnected feeling.
Flying over India has no relation whatsoever with being in India!
Isn't this shoking?
