The one view no one owns, no one frames, and everyone photographs anyway.
means A view or expanse of the sky, especially one considered as a scene worth looking at — the sky's version of a landscape.
from Built in the 1800s by simple analogy to 'landscape,' swapping in 'sky' for 'land.' The '-scape' piece itself traces back to the same root as 'shape' — it originally just meant a view or a state of being, borrowed from Dutch painters' term for scenic pictures before English stretched it to cover land, sea, city, and eventually sky.
