Had to update this one, the first version I posted was burning holes in my eyeballs. Did it in a rush! This one is better. Come follow me on facebook and Flickr I also have a website. Cliff Island, Corona Del Mar Headed out here on superbowl sunday. Parked in the neighborhood above this shoreline, and entered this area through a gap in the fence around the private golf course. After I finished shooting, I walked up to the cliff along the shore to pee, and as I'm peeing I notice up on the cliff, a guard standing there looking at me in disapproval. I was on private land. Technically, cliff island is not private land, but this guy wanted me to know I was trespassing. He threatened to have me arrested. I Think he was just pissed he had to work on super bowl sunday. Poor guy.

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.
