which is the higher and which is the lower ?哪个更高,哪个更低?

High and low
lithograph, 1947, 50.5 x 20.5 cm

 
In this print the same picture is presented twice over, but viewed from two different points. The upperhalf shows the view that an observer would get if he were about three storeys up; the lower half is the scene that would confront him if he were standing at ground level. If he should take his eyes off the latter and look upwards, then we would see the tiled floor on which he is standing, repeted as a ceiling in the centre of the composition. Yet this acts as a floor for the upper scene.

Here a tracking shot representing some children games: ferris wheel, swing and so on. Each of these games contemplates some movements concerning the high and low in which the child is rocked. 


"Hunting High and Low", Coldplay


Here, I am
And beyond the reach of my hands
She's sound asleep
And she's sweet another know why
These dreams could've seen her
And I watched her slipping away
And I know I'll be hunting high and low
High...
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
High and low
High...
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I can hear the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She's the sweetest love I could find
So I know I'll be hunting high and low
High...
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
High and low
High...
Do you know how it feels to love you?
Do you know how it feels to love you?
High and Low

The most efficient way to build is vertically.Building vertically saves space as it uses minimal ground square meters. When it comes to interior design, the same rule can be applied. By focusing on height rather than width, efficient storage designs can be created. However, high storage designs can create a new problem because the higher storage parts will be difficult to reach. My Staircase is a shelving unit that combines a bookshelf with a pullout stair system in the bottom three shelves. The shelving unit is 2.6 meters high and the top shelves are accessible by using the bottom shelves as steps for accessing the higher shelves.

Snoopy and Woodstock-史努比


Flying in high skies

Snoopy is a fictional character in the long-running comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. He is Charlie Brown's pet beagle. Snoopy began his life in the strip as a fairly conventional dog, but eventually evolved into perhaps the strip's most dynamic character — and among the most recognizable comic characters in the world.
In this strip appears Snoopy with his friend Woodstock, a little yellow bird. Compared with it, a very low animal, even Snoopy could appear an high character!!

Gondo believes that the long-term future of the company will be best served by well made shoes with modern styling, though this plan is unpopular with the other executives because it means lower profits in the short term...  read more
