If you were a social media influencer and you were sharing this picture, what kinds of things would you include in the caption? Produce 10-12 hashtags that you might attach to the picture. Try to go a littler deeper than just describing what is on the picture and ask yourself questions like you would for your Urban Landscape.

  1. How has this place come to be and how have humans altered it?
  2. What cultural, economic, or environmental forces are at play in this picture?
  3. What are the values, tastes, or aspirations of people associated with it?
