Exp1. Week2

Halla Moutain, Jeju island, Korea

The shape/ appearance of Hallasan, the highest mountain in Korea, depicts that it is formed due to the volcano eruption. the top of this mountain is dented and it looks like there is a small puddle in the middle. there are green plants all over this mountain but it seems like there aren't many trees (the green plants might be the trees). the top of this mountain is lit by the sunlight but the some sides are shaded due to the irregularity of the terrain.

Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand

The trees without any leaves and the yellow hill/ mountain with the snow in the background show that this picture is taken in winter. It seems like the tress are grown from the shallow river and there isn't any pathway that people can walk around. the sun is illuminating the hills but not the river side. 

 Namib-Naukluft national park, Namibia

This national park illustrates that it is a completely deserted place with a few small plants. The edgy hills of desert sand almost seem as if it is carved. the sunlight is coming from the back of the hills which tells us that it is close to the sunset time.

North pole, Alaska

This picture shows that there is a dense forest covered by tall, thin tress mostly without leaves. Their thin trunks convey that there isn't much water supply due to the cold and dry environment. Even though it seems like there is no clouds in the sky and the sunlight is directly coming from the sky, this area is not lightened and the sun looks blurry. 

Abruzzo, Italy

 This picture shows that there are a number of hills with a circular flatland covering a hill. In terms of vegetation, there are lots of different types of plants with various colours with some small and big rocks among the plants. Because of the  large amount of the clouds, the sun is only lighting the hill in the middle.
