Double/Multiple Exposure Photography?

What cool stuff can be done using a double/multiple exposure during Landscape photography?
I will be using black & white film.
 
Sorry "sk8board", but this question has nothing to do with HDR or even anything to do with digital. The asker is asking about in camera multi exposures on a single frame of film.

To answer, I like to try to combine complimentary elements with double or multi exposures, or, contrasting elements can also work good together. Such as a shot of a beautiful, clean landscape, along with an exposure of a factory belching out smoke. Or a shot of a rubber ducky with a shot of an old swing set. Or a shot of an empty beer bottle with a child's doll.

Those are not "landscape" examples, but you get the idea. Here are lots of double exposures taken on black and white Ilford film with my Holga:

This is called an HDR(high dynamic range) image. These are usually used when you can't take just one spot to expose for everything i.e. harsh lighting conditions. Like if you were taking an image from the inside of a building to the outside through the window if you exposed for the outside you wouldn't see the inside of the building and if you exposed for the inside of the building the outside would be blown out and just be white so you would put you camera on a three shot bracketing mode while leaving the aperture the same just changing the shutter speed one is overexposing the image the other is underexposing and the third is just a normal picture where nothing is perfect then you can combing them in photoshop or another free online software and you can get some nice results.
