Landscape can mean:

• The layout of a land area, particularly with respect to its appearance and character. A landscape includes such elements as landforms, bodies of water, flora and fauna, and lighting and weather conditions (the natural elements), as well as human presence and human-built elements (the cultural elements or built environment). See also Landscape Architecture, Landscape Ecology and Landscape Engineering, Landscape Planning, Landscape Design.

• 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 longer axis is horizontal. (So named because landscape paintings usually have this orientation.) When the long axis is vertical, it is termed portrait.
