Distance certainly can help for some photos.
I think in this instance it gives more of a sense of smallness.
Maybe also a sense of the quiet and sombre. Possibly a loneliness.

This is my submission into the two hundred-and-twenty-second Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Mountains Are Calling“.

This is a part of The Blue Mountains and for that reason I feel it counts.
It’s also a space I want to check out at a closer distance than when I took this photo.
I find something curious about it and that could have to do with the contrast between the developed and the natural, or perhaps scene viewed and scene experienced. Not sure.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Week 1 – Tina

Week 2 – Patti

Week 3 – Ann-Christine aka Leya

Week 4 – Amy

Week 5 – John Steiner

Week 6 – Sofia Alves

Week 7 – Anne Sandler

Week 8 – Guest host

This one is hosted by Amy. John hosts the next one.

I recommend participating in the challenges. They’re open enough to allow for a fair bit of thinking about approach and closed enough to keep focus on meeting the theme of each one. If you don’t participate, you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.

I hope you enjoy.
