Specialist note

In appraising landscape, what is our measure of aesthetic beauty? At the and, besides the eye of the beholder, there is no other objective criteria of measure. This may sound trite, yet it forms the foundation of aesthetics. Beauty is in the eye and mind of the beholder - there is no other way.
-Kinichiro Ishikawa
