Exactly.
When only the title was available, I thought of a remote planet with a 
big errupting volcanoe... It has to be on a remote planet, because of 
the special lightning/feeling/... Probably not an original idea!

The way the text explains the title, I believe the landscape must be 
somewhere on Earth! Moreover, it must be a real aerial landscape (hint: 
what about Hawai islands, seen from the bottom of the sea, WiTHOUT any 
water,
just keeping the traces of where the sea would be ? That would be 
spectacular, that might be a landscape, but it does not seem to match 
the text).

Also, did anybody think about 'paper -landscape' ? It would have been an 
easy pun/word-play with the title, but it is obviously off-topic 
according to the text (unless, it's a landscape photo of a spectacular
landscape... or any thing more recursive...)... advertisement in 
landscape (instead of portrait) for a spectacle ?
