ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Dead land can sometimes be associated with inhospitable and arid landscapes where living conditions are difficult and vegetation is minimal. A photograph of a lifeless tree standing in the middle of such a landscape can be a powerful image of hopelessness and decline. The tree, which once provided shade and protection, now symbolizes the degradation and infertility of the landscape. Looking at such a landscape can also be a warning of excessive land use and insufficient environmental protection.
