Visual_pollution

Visual pollution is the term given to unattractive or unnatural visual elements of a vista, a landscape, or any other thing that a person might not want to look at. Commonly cited examples are houses, automobiles, traffic signs, roadsigns, highways, roadways, billboards, litter, graffiti, overhead powerlines, utility poles, contrails, skywriting, buildings, weeds, and advertisements. These are usually considered visual pollution when placed in a landscape or surrounding where the person seeing them thinks that they do not fit. For example big billboards in a countryside village or graffiti on an old eighteenth century house can be seen as visual pollution.
