Does this sentence make sense?

"Rambling in the mountains and rivers"

Which is supposed to mean a person experiences indirectly many rivers and mountains through appreciating landscape paintings . Does it make sense?

If it doesn't, what about this one?

Those are not sentences. They are just brief phrases. By themselves, they mean very little.

Sorry for make you confused. I tried to make a phrase not a sentence because it is a title of a painting. Then, does it make sense? What about second one?

Rambling in the mountains and rivers

This sounds odd, because we don't normally ramble in a river.

Mountains and rivers--sauntering in between

This sounds odd, too. Do you have person in your painting?
