In rare modern cases, the field or a subdivision thereof is not a tincture but is shown as a scene from alandscape,[1] or, in the case of the329th Fighter Group of theUnited States Air Force, blazoned asthe sky proper.[2] Landscape fields are regarded by many heralds as unheraldic anddebased, as they defy the heraldic ideal of simple, boldly-coloured images, and they cannot be consistently drawn fromblazon.
The arms of the Inveraray and District Community Council in Scotland have as a fieldIn waves of the sea. The correct language of heraldry is very flexible and virtually any image may be blazoned in a correct manner; for example "sky proper" might be blazoned simplyAzure orbleu celeste, whilst "waves of the sea" might be blazoned correctly asAzure, 3 bars undee argent which would provide 3 wavy thick white lines on a blue field.
