Don, wetscape drums up thoughts of photographing a nymph in the shower; I

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 Definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary

*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.
Regards,
DAW~
