景 is a bound form (b.f.) — it cannot stand alone as an independent word. You will almost always encounter it as the first or second syllable of a two-syllable compound noun. Its core meanings split into two groups: (1) scenery, landscape, view (风景 'scenery', 景色 'scenery', 景点 'scenic spot'); (2) situation, scene, condition (情景 'situation/scene', 景象 'scene/sight', 背景 'background', 景气 'economic condition'). A less common literary sense 'to admire, to respect' appears in 景仰 'to respect and admire' and 景慕 'to adore'.
