![]() Though a road runs downhill, we have to represent it running up our canvas. Suppose we have not Nature in front of us, we can still find the width of this distant road by drawing the foreground length and adding the connecting link just as if we could see through the hill down which it runs (Fig. On hilly land a road may be seen in the foreground and again in the distance, but the intermediate stretch, where it runs downhill, may be hidden owing to the steepness of the ground. ![]() Each section of it that takes a new direction or inclination has its own V.P. So it comes about that a road, unless it is perfectly straight and lies in one plane, may have many vanishing points. will be more to the right or left accordingly, but it will not be higher up or lower down, unless the inclination of the road changes as well as its direction. If the road turns so that it takes a new direction, its V.P. The steepness of the road running up or down hill determines the height above or below the horizon for the V.P. ![]() The road, if it has the same direction but runs downhill, will have its V P immediately below the " level " V.P. may be far above the horizon if the road is steep or only just over it if there is but a slight incline. If the road runs in the same direction, but uphill, its lines tend to a V.P. The sides and cart-ruts of a receding road on level ground tend to a V.P. ![]()
