The reality of scenery exists objectively as physical terrain and natural processes, independent of human presence. Yet, its perception as "landscape" or meaningful scenery emerges only through human gaze, narrative, and cultural interpretation—framing, naming, and imbuing it with emotion or story. Without observers, nature persists, but "scenery" as aesthetic or symbolic entity does not. Phenomenology underscores this: experience constitutes landscape, blending objective world with subjective embodiment.https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/environmental-aesthetics/https://landscapestory.co.uk/2024/02/29/philosophy-of-landscape/https://journals.openedition.org/estetica/7426
