5.1- It's All Natural

The best of the weather might be gone for the year, but that doesn't make our natural world any less impressive! From crisp Winter sunrises over mountains and lakes to dramatic pine forests reaching for the skyline, there's still plenty of beauty to appreciate even in the coldest of seasons.

Read a book with a cover depicting a natural landscape scene. The landscape cannot contain any human or man-made objects - only animals, plants, water, landforms, etc.

Examples:
Does not work: (umbrella in the sky) (person standing in field)

Required: Post the cover

This book -- it doesn't work because there is some sort of structure in the trees, but what about the yellow box around the text? Is that something that is disqualifying?

I think that is just the way they put the series on the cover, like the title. I wouldn't consider that part of the cover scene, so it wouldn't by itself disqualify the cover.

I have a similar question. The scene on the cover isn't manmade, but there is a pattern behind the title. Does that disqualify it?

Stealing the words from one of the mods, we feel that is just a 'glorified text box' for the title, so that cover will work.

We are looking into a way to reword the task to make it a little clearer.

Thanks! That's kind of how I looked at it as well. Glorified text box is a good description!

this looks good from my eyes - can I just get a sanity check? :)

i think my coworkers might debate my sanity sometimes - but thanks for confirming ;)

This was harder than I expected it to be - although I'm pretty sure that
and should work, I'm not so sure about
, , or .
What say you?

I would say and do not fit for this task. While they do have only natural elements on the cover, it is not a landscape scene you would be able to see if you walked outside.

would this work

or this

I would say this will work. The landscape scene on the bottom half is clearly separate from the map on the top half of the cover.

This does not work, there is a cottage/house in the background.

Morning.

Can you confirm that you can't see anything man made in this one?



If you need a larger version to check, this is the Amazon record for the same edition: https://www.amazon.co.uk/River-Runs-t...

Thanks.

this works.

Thank you.

turns out the book i wanted to read does not have the cover that would fit

would any of these work






Interestingly I found all of these on this cover book list
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
- for anyone who is having difficulty finding something for this task the list is worth a look

It looks like all 3 of those would work.

could you please verify if this works?

That will work.

thank you :)

Can I get this checked please? Left Neglected

Emily wrote: "Can I get this checked please? Left Neglected"

That will work.

Would this one work?



I don't see anything glaring but doesn't mean I'm not missing something!

Yes, that works.

There is evidence of humans from the footprints in the snow but I don't see any actual humans or man made items -- would this one work?

I went to amazon and zoomed the cover. Those look more like animal footprints than human feet, it is impossible to tell which it is. I am going to say yes to this one

Approved

Hello!

Would this book work:
?

It looks like a landscape scene on the whole, but there's a little "stamp" on the bottom right corner about the corresponding TV series that has her profile in it

Thank you!!

That book will work.

Is this one OK? It looks like maybe a dirt road in the distance, is that considered man-made?

This isn't necessarily an EARTHLY nature scene, but it is a nature scene, so I wanted to get it checked, thanks in advance!

I see water, I see trees in that cover Jessica, so I yes

approved

I'm not sure if you saw my question in msg 34 above. I forgot about it myself!

Sorry, I did miss it. That book will work.

Does work?

Does it have to be an Earthen natural landscape? Would love to know if would work?

Morning.

I've found a second possibility for this one, if you could confirm you're happy with it:

Cheers.

Would this work - the axe is part of the title so not sure if it works or not

Just checking in to see if anyone saw my question? Thanks!

Sorry this was missed- Approved

There is no Axe in the the landscape
