It was rumored that if the two waters are put in the same glass bottle, the bottle will break. Lala’s water is so crystal clear that people mostly take it for drinking while that of Ashiyan is brownish. The two pools are together but their water do not mix. At the other side and near the pool is another hill from under which a small spring do come out to form a small pool called Lala. Running slowing is a stream that runs from up one of the hills to form a pool at the lower valley. Should you move towards the eastern part of the town, you will encounter different species of trees hanging on the hills in a way that one will find it difficult to explain the friendship between nature and creation. Everywhere you turn your eyes, you see rolling hills so green and full of life. I am from Ipele in Nigeria, a beautiful small town surrounded by hills. When were you last out in the countryside? How would you describe the landscape? A windswept area of land has no trees or other high structures to protect it from the wind: The picture shows a desolate, windswept landscape. Both are used for areas of the countryside that seem empty and cold, with nothing pleasant to look at: The house stands on a bleak hilltop.Īnother adjective sometimes used in this context is windswept. Two negative adjectives that are sometimes used to describe featureless landscapes are bleak and desolate. If there are no trees, hills or other interesting features, it may appear rather featureless: It was a grey, featureless landscape. Of course, not all landscapes are green and hilly. Rugged is very similar, describing an area of land that is wild and not flat: These photographs really capture the rugged landscape of the region. Still with the shape of the land, craggy describes an area with lots of rocks sticking out: a craggy coastline. If those mountains have snow on the top, they are often referred to as snow-capped: a snow-capped mountain range. Meanwhile, a landscape with bigger hills – mountains – is mountainous: a mountainous region. The rather literary word undulating is also used to describe this type of landscape: This picturesque village is surrounded by undulating hills. The phrase rolling hills is often used in descriptions of attractive landscapes with many gentle hills: Everywhere you look, there are rolling hills. A hilly area has lots of hills: The countryside round here is very hilly. Other words describe the shape of the land. Sun-baked, meanwhile, describes land that is hard and dry because it has received so little rain for so long: The sun-baked earth was full of cracks. Land that is extremely dry because rain has not fallen for a long time is often said to be parched: parched earth/fields. (A technical description for an area that has little rain but is not completely dry is semi-arid: a semi-arid zone.) Meanwhile, a landscape that has few or no plants because there is so little rain may be described as arid: Few animals can survive in this arid desert landscape. A more literary word for this is verdant: All around her were verdant meadows. An area that is especially green, in a way that is attractive, may also be described as lush: lush green valleys. To start with the most basic description, an area of land that is mainly covered with grass or trees is often described as green: There are so few green spaces in the city. Have you ever wanted to describe an area of the countryside but found you didn’t have the right words? If so, we’ll fix that this week with a look at words and phrases that we use to describe different landscapes. This article has been updated with new information since its original publish date.By Kate Woodford john finney photography/Moment/Getty ![]() We pulled the top 30 countries from the all-encompassing “natural resources” section of the WEF’s report, and then polled Traveler editors for their personal picks (consider them bonus entries, if you will) to put together this list of the world’s most beautiful countries. The latter takes into consideration details like total animal species, the number of UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the amount of protected ecosystems-and 2022’s results are as stunning as ever. That’s why we let the World Economic Forum do much of the work for us: Every year, the foundation releases their Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report, a survey that ranks the world’s countries based on various factors, from safety to life expectancy-and yes, even natural resources. But actually ranking the most beautiful countries in the world? That's a bit trickier (eye of the beholder, and what not). Every country in the world has something to offer, from local cuisine to groundbreaking architecture. ![]()
