Comparison
The high horizon is apparent on the rock by the shield (the vertical section of rock is above sea level on the low horizon) and also by the distance between the sea level and the back leg of Britannia which is smaller. The blue line indicates the sea level, the white line indicates where the top of the rock meets the shield. |
