In reply to lorens holm:
Thanks, Lorens! There's so much that can be (and has been) said about landscapes. One of my favourite quotes is from John Berger, who wrote: "Perspective is not a science but a hope. Traditional Chinese art looked at the earth from a Confucian mountain top; Japanese art looked closely around screens; Italian Renaissance art surveyed conquered nature through the window or door-frame of a palace. For the Cro-Magnons space is a metaphysical arena of continually intermittent appearances and disappearances.” In this sense, you could say that Freud projected his hopes for psychoanalysis onto the terrain through which he moved and mountains, like the unconscious or memory, can be treacherous.
