I chose to take pictures of this landscape because I liked the view of the pond with the backdrop of the rocks and landscape behind the pond. Most landscapes are barren land, but I think the pond adds value to the landscape. Many different species live in the pond and the area around it, all of them different but living together. Taking the picture at noon added much light to the pond, as it glistens compared to the area around it. I like to go to this place because it is a nice view and a place to think and ponder.
I chose this landscape because it was off a dirt road and looked unused. Although it could be used as farmland, it doesn't seem to be growing anything at this point. The feeling one should get from these photos is emptiness. The patches of grass on the right image convey that feeling along with the brush at the foreground of the left image. However, the horizon line on the left photo should give a sense of hope, as there is much land to be used in the future.
I chose this landscape to take photos of because it is a place I have walked a lot with my friends. In their neighborhood they have lots of open space such as this along with rolling hills. These photos should be calming, as there is much open space beyond the trees and shrubs in the foreground in the left image. The beauty of nature can be as green as the hills, or as rough as the trees. That is why I chose to highlight each in my images.
This landscape is yet another barren land, but this time off the highway. There is so much that can be done with this land, yet it is untouched due to the roads being so close. This landscape should give a feeling of hope, but also should have the viewer question why no one is using any of the land. The clouds above give an ominous feeling that feeds into the questioning. However, the trees in the middle ground add to the hope that so much is out there for us to take.
I chose this landscape because it is what people see when they walk into church on Sundays. This field might give a sense of hope to those who go to this church because of the open space. Before or after church they can see this open space and be inspired to take advantage of their life just like the green grass is flourishing. The beautiful blue sky above adds to that inspiration. In addition, the clouds could give a heavenly feeling to those that are inspired by their religion.
