Photoshop instruction via Skype | Tutorial Video | Prints | Facebook I went to a new location in Mount Rainier to shoot sunset, the Glacier Overlook, to be precise. I think so far, this is my favorite shooting location: great, unobstructed vistas of the White River Valley and Rainier; plus lots of visual interest all around. Lots of marmots running around on the sharp rocks from this talus, who then disappeared as they saw me get down closer to where they were hanging out. I was pretty focused on doing my thing, when suddenly I realized that the marmots were running around me and being somewhat curious as to what I was doing. Then another discovery: mama marmot was keeping an eye on me, while her little ones were out exploring. I was pretty excited that I was fortunate to witness amazing light during sunset, have a crescent moon in my frame, as well as have these little creatures around me, particularly to mama, who was kind enough to pose for my shot!
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.
