"Landscape by itself is meaningless, but it works on our feelings in profound ways, arousing in us a sense of ourselves in relation to the outside world. What does it feel like to stare up into the knight sky or to confront a mountain? A picture which mimics the appearance of natural phenomenon will miss the point, not just of their essential nature but ours too. Instead, some equivalent has to be found, an equivalent of the way in which they act on our sensibilities." - Christopher Neve, Unquiet Landscape.
