Per my comment to the person who said this, how does a stark landscape on a beautiful sunny day make you depressed?

I might feel depressed if someone I knew and liked died, or of I lost my job, or if my better half left me, but I'm not quite so fragile that a landscape is going to make me depressed ;)

It really does affect people though. I get very uncomfortable in places that aren't green, wet, mountainous, forested, etc.

How so?

Rolling golden paddocks on a beautiful sunny day (and indeed landscape of any kind) don't make me want to curl up in a ball and cry like a little girl, so I find that attitude hard to understand ;)
It's better than mine, but I can see his point. It's pretty damn barren.

Great openess, though, I can see why you like it and I am sure I could grow to like it. Let's move in!

I'm sure it looks sweet at night with no lights and people around... but looks dead in the day.

Wish I'd had a tripod (and was sober enough at the time!) to catch the night sky, stars from horizon to horizon, so bright they'd blow your mind ;)

looks like the northern texas panhandle. or the oklahoma panhandle, or eastern colorado, or western kansas.
If it were a little more green in dug's pic I'd say it looked like where I live (Weatherford, TX). The trees look just as miserable there as they do here.
