Color In Nature: Landscapes
Печатать эту страницу
From the red lava and black rock of newly forming land to the cool gray tundras and frozen lakes, a dynamic range of colors can be seen in landscapes across the globe. Some of the most dramatic colors can be seen in the very same landscape with the changing of the seasons. Pale yellow fields leftover from winter become rich green beds of brightly colored flowers just to become dark fading charcoal hills again in the fall.
Below we are exploring some of these lands filled with rich and absorbent colors created by minerals and climates, like the Pink lakes of Australia with pink salt lands contrasted against gray skies, the Painted Hills of Oregon with layers of peach sediment and rusty volcanic ash, and the tended green farm lands and pastures of Spain and England contrasted against blue skies.

Photo by mike138 There are three main divisions to Scotland's geography: The Highlands and Islands made up largely from ancient rocks from the Cambrian and Precambrian eras, the Central Lowlands a rift valley mainly comprising Paleozoic formations, and the Southern Uplands a range of hills 125 miles long, interspersed with broad valleys. |
