My Perceptions in Viewing the Landscape

In viewing this image taken from the top of the coal plant, I am immediately drawn to the roads and the Y-shaped paths that they form amongst the trees. The roads stand out not only for the shape that they create, but the color as well, which contrasts strongly against the green background as the path disappears into the trees. My eyes follow the paths and want to know where they lead, and I feel that there is more of the landscape to be seen; part of it is missing. My perception of this landscape in reference to the versions mentioned in Meining's The Beholding Eye would be best described as landscape as place, since I focus on individual pieces (the roads, Y-shaped path), and express sensitivity to details such as the color and shape of the roads amongst the trees and note how that these visual element cause the road to stand out.

My perception is probably of the landscape as an aesthetic as well, as I do describe part of the landscape as form, specifically the "Y-shaped" roads. The notation of color and shape would also support this perception as well.
