ENDLESS REFLECTED LANDSCAPE

While researching the visual syntax of landscape photography (maximum depth of field, strong horizon line, use of the rule of thirds, use of points of interest for the viewer to make their way into the landscape, a dominant foreground or sky, etc) I became interested in the Reflected Landscape as a subgenre of landscape photography. While trafficking in the content of the landscape and obeying some of the syntactical rules such as the strong horizon, the reflected landscape does not necessarily adhere to the rule of thirds or use visual points of interest in the same way as typical landscape photography.

These Endless Reflected Landscapes have all been autogenerated from a pool of Google image landscape thumbnails:

The thumbnails have all been stretched horizontally in deference to the logic of the landscape. The exploit is symmetry. The reward is an endless terrain to look upon.
