Week 2 : 5 Landscapes

Urban Landscape
The urban landscape is manmade, in comparison to nature, the urban landscape isn't as bright and colourful. Even though the image is black and white its still a good example of reality. Grounds are made of grey concrete and buildings of silver/grey steel and  glass reflect more greyness!
Grounds are flat and vegetation is minimal to be more accessible to humans. The urban landscape is designed to give off more light for humans to see, so aswell as windows and glass to bring in more light, man made lighting at night is accessable to survive.

Rainforest Landscape
The landscape of rainforests arn't flat, forrests are filled with moist and muddy grounds and rocks. The humididity moistens vegetation and allows vcegetation to be wet most of the time. Rainforest lighting varries from area to area. Where there is more dense vegetation, lighting is darker and cooler but in open ares where vegetation is low, the sky brightens the area due to the reflective nature that the moist vegetation gives off.



mountains and plains
Depending on the country mountain plains can be either dry or wet. Not much vegetation grows in mountain areas due to lack of soil. The ground is mostly rocky. Due to high altitude, in colder seasons its generally very cloudy and the landscape is distorted. Lighing is cooler in mountain areas because the clouds give off an opaque white fog against the rock grey and dark tones.

Desert
Desert landscapes are arid and dry. There isn't much vegetaion but the vegetation that is there survives from very minimal water. The vegetation is generally sharp with thorns or spines and leaves are very thick to save whatever water is absolbed to  protect itself from harsh weather and keep it moist. The landscape is made up of sand and dust and ground is curvy due to the wind blowing the sand in different directions. Lighting is warm due to lack of vegetation and the colour of the sand gives off the warmth to the landscape.

Coast
Coasts are made up of cliffs that are eroded from the weather and the salty ocean water hitting the cliffs. Vegetation is generally minimal to grass as soil isnt great on cliffs. Lighting is bright due to the reflectivness of the water and the lack of high vegetation.
