rocky landscape
Boulder-strewn ground vista
A rocky landscape is terrain characterized by exposed stone, boulders, or rugged outcrops with sparse vegetation.
The phrase describes both literal geography—mountains, deserts, coastlines—and artistic depictions of such terrain: The painting captured a desolate rocky landscape.
It suggests harshness, barrenness, or dramatic natural beauty.
