近くに見える vs 近くで見える


Can someone tell me the difference please?




Have a look at the following two sentences.

> 「山が近くに見えると雨の兆し」なのは何故か
> <https://blog.goo.ne.jp/qq_otenki_s/e/e1b0a205b5f40b9360bd8905c3b90165>

近くに brings the location (of the mountain) into focus, and it's far more common
than 近くで.

> エンパイアステートビルが近くで見えるホテル <https://4travel.jp/os_qa_each-59348.html>

近くで shifts the focus to the activity (of enjoying the view).
