Visual landscape perception is objectivised by photography, and the aerial photography. Its adequate presentation is land cover identification as integration of the scenic and content qualities of the landscape. The aim of the paper is an assessment of land cover pattern by aesthetic qualities on case study of the flood-plain of Morava river. In the assessment the author used a regular network of squares with a 100 m long side and the following criteria: landscape diversity, landscape complexity, length of edges of the forest and tree lines, length of the edges of water areas and water streams, attractiveness, colourfulness and vertical diversity of the land cover types. Terrestrial photographs contributed to the assessment of the qualities of the vista and scenery of the study area.
