Bonsoir,
comment peut-on traduire "une vision profonde et longue d'un paysage" en anglais?
C'est une petite interview avec un peintre, qui parle de l'effet du vent sur la lumière.
Contexte:
Dans cette ville il y a beaucoup de vent et, étant donné que le vent balaye tout, ça nous donne quand meme une vision profonde et longue d’un paysage. Les jours de grand vent on peut voir très loin, alors que les jours où il fait très chaud ça fait comme une évaporation d’eau et on peut voir moins loin.
A deep vision on/of a landscape?

a sweeping view
The term "sweeping" covering both "longue" and "profonde"...
Peer comment(s):

Verginia Ophof
: agree that sweeping cover both, but perhaps it can be broken down to a clear/wide (profond) and sweeping view

Thanks Verginia. I considered using an extra adjective but decided it would be redundent. :-)

Thanks writeaway. But isn't it the case most of the time? I don't remember the last time I posted a question...because I was really stuck. // it's rather amusing (about what you said before and deleted after)

: Which perception is not subjective? /../ You're welcome. Well, I was in doubt whether to use a "!" or use a "?", so I left it at a "?", I guess my subjective knowledge is still too shallow to be totally objective. ;-)

Thank you John - whether you are making a statement or asking a question...:)//Objectivity, too, is in the eye of the beholder...:)

: It's not about subjective "impressions" [be it shallow or in-depth] - it's simply down to earth what's called in aviation "visibility" how far away you can see clearly objects, instead of mist or haze.

OK. I interpreted it from a painter's artistic viewpoint.

an in-depth perspective
in-depth for 'profonde' and perspective gives the idea of distance (longue).
