Landscape wallpapers where icon labels stand out

Among the landscape wallpapers, these 151 are darker than 80 in the bottom quarter. Landscapes put sky at the top, which often washes out the lock-screen clock, but their lower part is ground or water and tends to be dark — good news for home-screen icon labels. This is a way to reuse the landscapes you gave up on for the lock screen. Sorted by bottom brightness, darkest first.
