  1. i can see the city in front of the building.


  2. It's "I can't see the forest through the trees!"

    hahahaha

    The difference between the statements is perspective.

    One person has obviously acknowledged the situation, judged it and made an inference based on their conclusion. This means that this person has hindsight and insight.

    However, the other person expresses the opposite perspective.

    They are exclaiming their predicament in a model of frustration, saying "Argh! why can't I see the forest?" This means they are in an active situation, and have no insight or foresight into their problem.

  3. you can see the rain forest for the shrubs.

  4. The opposite would be "seeing the big picture"
