Here I took a panoramic shoot that I wanted this time to focus on how the landscape of the Earth is perceived as abstract through its shapes of rocks, trees, and various other objects.  I believe I have captured the landscape as abstract also because almost in many cases the scenery seems like an illusion  in the sense the surrounding edges of a photograph appear as part of looking forward in the photograph despite being at an angle when I took the photographs.  This is abstract because it displays the landscape as well as the objects in the land being abstract.  In my photographs I have portrayed this as the land being free to develop and move how it wants, but I have contrasted this with man made features being abstract.  This split differences allows us to compare natural and man made features of abstraction in the landscape.  I enhanced the contrast to help us distinguish the brighter and darker elements and to help separate certain features of the landscape to the others around it.  Though this sense of abstract patterns in the way the Earth is developed and of how for example 2 juxtaposing pathways that are opposite, the fact they appear as part of 2 parallel paths diverging off into their own way and the fact the lake appears very much part of a loop rather than a lake with boundaries appears very surreal.  This is because it creates a slight element of surprise and abnormality that is unseen before in the natural eye.  I did this to link back further with this idea of how the land is free to create it’s own textures and patterns.
