However, the ground looked very hard and too far down.

The ground didn't look the way he had thought it would.

The ground looked good and firm, well above the water level.

And he lay on the ground looking at the sky.

Bare ground may look as though a good job was done.

The ground looked as if they had slept here last night.

The ground below looked strange, but then, it usually did.

The grounds looked the same as before: dark and empty.

The ground did not look so alien now, and we were feeling more confident.

Thus we may not get a complete picture of what ground zero will look like until a decade from now.
