A Tribute For Those Who Saw the Real Thing
Old Man of the Mountain Profile Plaza的点评
点评：On May 3, 2003 The Old Man of the Mountain lost its long battle with gravity. Almost immediately the question arose as to what to do about it. The Old Man of the Mountain Profile Plaza is the response.
It seems to be an increasingly common problem, but parking is a problem on two levels. First it is fairly far away from the actual plaza. Second, the location of the handicapped parking didn't seem particularly clear (keep driving past the obvious parking area to find it).
There is mention of an Old Man museum, but if there is such a thing it is either very well hidden or was closed for leaf-peeping season.
The plaza consists of five structures with instructions of where to stand so that if the profile on the staff is correctly aligned with the cliff of the mountain you can 'see' what the Old Man looked like. If you never saw the actual Old Man, you won't have a good frame of reference about what you're looking at, so you'll have to have a very active imagination to get a sense of what the Old Man looked like. I would wonder what people will think of this plaza say one hundred years from now, when none of the visitors will have the actual sight for comparison.
Perhaps the real lesson of the plaza is that the treasures of nature are fleeting, and once gone are impossible to replace.

翻译：2003 年 5 月 3 日，山中老人在与重力的长期斗争中失败了。人们几乎立刻就提出了如何解决这一问题。山中老人侧像广场就是答案。
这似乎是一个越来越普遍的问题，但停车问题有两个层面。首先，它距离实际广场相当远。其次，残疾人停车位的位置似乎不是特别明显（继续开车经过明显的停车区才能找到它）。
有人提到过一个老人博物馆，但如果有这样的博物馆，它要么隐藏得很好，要么因为赏叶季节而关闭。
广场由五个结构组成，并标明了站立位置，这样如果标尺上的侧像与山崖正确对齐，你就可以“看到”老人的样子。如果你从未见过真正的老人，你就无法很好地了解你所看到的东西，所以你必须有非常活跃的想象力才能了解老人的样子。我很想知道，一百年后，当没有游客能亲眼目睹这样的美景时，人们会如何看待这个广场。
也许这个广场的真正教训是，大自然的宝藏转瞬即逝，一旦消失就无法替代。
