Hi Henry,
I must admit, my personal definition of a landscape has become much
more loose since I have begun trying to find something nice and
scenic in southern michigan in march. hahahha. Its all brown and
gray and mud.

This might come across the wrong way. I hope it doesn't.
Here is wisdom. You can stand _anywhere_ with a camera. It doesn't
matter. Look around carefully, with interest. I guarantee there will
be several good pictures to be made from that spot. You just need to
see them.
As for a "landscape" picture, I wouldn't get too hung up on the
definition. Go shoot a muddy barnyard or fence line in some pasture,
whatever. It'll be just as much appreciated. There aren't any image
snobs around here.

I would very mildly disagree in that the landscape is the last layer
for everything. For it to be a landscape it has to be the subject,
not the background. Anything in the landscape becomes a picture of
the thing. A fence or a barn in the landscape is a picture of a
fence or a barn unless it is so small as to be inconsequential, or
just an accent in the picture. But we can decide to be as loose as we
want in our submissions as a group. And who says that a landscape
has to be "nice and scenic"? Isn't that like not taking pictures of
people because they do not look like professional models who seem to
represent the usual notions of physical beauty?
