Don, wetscape drums up thoughts of photographing a nymph in the shower; I will
put my camera back on the shelf now.
Sweet dreams,
Best

My apologies to Carlos and John-
I was sort of making a little joke about the word "urbanscape" and included a
little smiley face in my original posting.
I tried to find some definitions for the word fragment "scape" and found many,
depending on the dictionary that came up.
Here is the most appropriate one for our purposes:

scape meaning: used to form nouns referring to a wide view of a place, often
one represented in a picture:

So landscape, seascape, urbanscape, cityscape, and many other variations are
perfectly fine for our purposes.
Now, when I was an active diver with my Rolleimarin IV and Rollei 3.5F, I was
sometimes able to take large scenes underwater, depending, of course, on the
distance of visibility. No idea what "scape" would apply to such pictures.
(Maybe wetscape?) I once visited a photographer at The National Geographic who
had published some nice scenic under water pictures with a camera on a tripod.
We didn't discuss what "scape" would apply to those pictures.
So, once more, apologies to all.
One more "scape comes to mind. "e-scape". I have never seen one nor
photographed one, but it is a concern of our local jail.
