Photoshop instruction via Skype | Tutorial Video | Prints | Facebook I saw these crepuscular rays on my first day shooting at the redwoods of northern California. I had hoped for some fog but it wasn't meant to be. I even extended the time I spent on this area waiting and hoping for the best, but the fog never came. On this day, which was the one that offered the best sunset conditions, the mist from the ocean was nicely lit by the setting sun light. The rodhies were I think, a week past their prime, but there were some nice patches still. Thank you for looking!
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.
