Photos of Rural Landscapes and Farms

Photos of farms, crops, and rural landscapes from around the world.

Rural landscapes are characterized by open, rolling or hilly terrain, with scattered settlements and farm fields, forests, and other natural features. These landscapes can be found in rural areas all over the world and vary greatly in terms of geography, and climate.

Common features of rural landscapes include rolling hills, forests, pastures, and croplands, as well as bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Rural communities are often small and spread out, with a strong connection to the land and a slower pace of life compared to urban areas.

Rural landscapes are often dotted with traditional farmhouses, barns, and other agricultural buildings, which reflect the area’s rich cultural heritage and agrarian roots. In many rural communities, farming and other natural resource-based industries continue to play a central role in the local economy and way of life.
