Portrait? Or landscape? In documenting the natural world, our producers discover those old painterly distinctions don’t quite hold. The Kitchen Sisters explore a canyon, Jonathan Goldstein goes camping and Elizabeth Arnold enters bear territory — places devoid of people — but when they point their microphones at the landscape, they find stories that seem a lot like…portraits. In this hour, hear stories about people — and the places that make them scared, and sad, and fighting mad.
