A landscape includes such elements as landforms, bodies of water, flora and fauna, and lighting and weather conditions, as well as human presence and human-built elements (the built environment). See also Landscape Architecture, Landscape Ecology and Landscape Engineering.
• A depiction of a landscape in a painting or photograph. See Landscape painting.
• The orientation of a rectangular page, painting or other graphic, denoting that the wide axis is horizontal. (So named because landscape paintings usually have this orientation.) When the long axis is vertical, it is termed portrait.
