#2 for me.
The wide angle gives that sense of space, the mountains are not too small and you see a broader range of them.
The "hand of man" in the middle creates this tension between nature and what man does to it,
so you have a statement of desolation - otherwise it would just have been a pretty shot.
In #1 for me the perspective is too compressed and claustrophobic.
