Welcome to the Inspirational Landscapes Deep Geography project

Landscape is at the heart of Geography Landscape is at the heart of Geography and at the heart of our view of the world. Landscape inspires the explorer, the artist, the scientist and the philosopher in each of us. Marcel Proust wrote that "The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes; in seeing the universe through the eyes of another, one hundred others - in seeing the hundred universes that each of them sees." This project looks at landscape through different eyes, with the goal of seeing more; of noticing more.
