× Yes, I like to take picture of different views.
✓ Yes, I like to take pictures of different views.
'Picture' should be plural 'pictures' because 'different views' implies more than one item; use plural nouns with countable plural contexts.
× Sometimes I used to collect pictures of words and animals and most often I like to click pictures of mountains or hill, station area and it is dependent upon me.
✓ Sometimes I used to collect pictures of birds and animals, and most often I like to take pictures of mountains, hills, or station areas, and it depends on me.
'Used to' is acceptable for past habits but mixing present 'I like' is confusing; 'words' is likely 'birds' (semantic correction) and 'hill' should be plural 'hills' to match list; 'station area' pluralized to 'station areas'. Use 'depends on' not 'dependent upon' for this context.
× Whenever I go out for travel, I used to collect pictures.
✓ Whenever I go out to travel, I collect pictures.
Use infinitive 'to travel' after 'go out' and present simple 'collect' for habitual action; 'used to' implies past habit and conflicts with 'whenever I go' which is present.
× It depends upon my mood and also the location where I'm travelling.
✓ It depends on my mood and also on the location where I'm travelling.
Use 'depends on' rather than 'depends upon' (both possible but 'depends on' is more natural) and include 'on' before both 'my mood' and 'the location' for parallel structure.
× If I travel to urban areas, I click pictures of huge buildings and sometimes of different monuments. Whether well I if.
✓ If I travel to urban areas, I take pictures of large buildings and sometimes of various monuments.
'Click pictures' is informal; 'take pictures' is more natural. 'Huge' can be 'large', 'different' better as 'various'. The fragment 'Whether well I if.' is ungrammatical and removed.
× If I travel to the rural area, I click pictures of words and the village area.
✓ If I travel to rural areas, I take pictures of birds and village scenes.
Use plural 'rural areas' to match general statement; 'words' likely intended 'birds' and 'village area' better as 'village scenes'. Also 'take pictures' is preferred.
× I prefer views in my own country because it is uh, it is a country with different colours.
✓ I prefer views in my own country because it is a country with many different colours.
Redundant 'it is uh, it is' should be reduced; add 'many' to modify 'different colours' and improve fluency.
× If you go to the mountainside, you can find pictures of blue and uh, dark blue shades and blue and greenery shades.
✓ If you go to the mountains, you can see shades of blue, dark blue, and green.
Simplify and correct adjective use: 'mountainside' to 'mountains' is natural; 'blue and greenery shades' is awkward—use 'green' and list colors clearly.
× And if you travel to the coastal regions, you most often find a colourful pictures of sea area and it is mostly greenery.
✓ And if you travel to the coastal regions, you will often find colourful views of the sea, and the area is usually green.
'A colourful pictures' mixes singular article with plural noun—correct to 'colourful views' or 'a colourful view'. 'Most often' changed to 'often' and 'it is mostly greenery' revised to 'the area is usually green' for grammatical correctness and natural phrasing.
