http://ift.tt/1j9IPX1 Nugget Point Lighthouse - what a simply amazing location. After another short night of sleep and we were up and ready to make the trip to this lighthouse for sunrise. Things were running a little tight after we took a detour through the lighthouse keepers grounds in search of a higher vantage point. With enough gear in hand for a small production film (time-lapse dolly’s, 4 tripods, additional camera bags etc etc) we were frantically trying to make it back to our initial location before first light. Luckily we did because as the morning’s sun lit up the thin clouds besetting the horizon we couldn’t believe the splendour of this location. A definitively classic lighthouse perched atop a rugged mountainous outcrop of land surrounded by nothing but rocks and sea.

Landscape comprises the visible features of an area of land, including the physical elements of landforms such as (ice-capped) mountains, hills, water bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds and the sea, living elements of land cover including indigenous vegetation, human elements including different forms of land use, buildings and structures, and transitory elements such as lighting and weather conditions.

Combining both their physical origins and the cultural overlay of human presence, often created over millennia, landscapes reflect the living synthesis of people and place vital to local and national identity. Landscapes, their character and quality, help define the self-image of a region, its sense of place that differentiates it from other regions. It is the dynamic backdrop to people’s lives.

The Earth has a vast range of landscapes including the icy landscapes of polar regions, mountainous landscapes, vast arid desert landscapes, islands and coastal landscapes, densely forested or wooded landscapes including past boreal forests and tropical rainforests, and agricultural landscapes of temperate and tropical regions.

Landscape may be further reviewed under the following specific categories: landscape art, cultural landscape, landscape ecology, landscape planning, landscape assessment and landscape design. The activity that modifies the visible features of an area of land is named Landscaping.
